Dave was the obvious choice for our wedding DJ. He came highly recommended by our venue, he had great reviews, his pricing was super reasonable, and he seemed lovely and communicative. Dave is great to work with and made us feel listened to as we planned for our wedding and talked through the activity schedule and song lists with him. He was a blast the day of the wedding and handled all of our requests with ease. Thank you Dave!!

We loved having Dave Holmes from Event Entertainment DJ our wedding! He made the process extremely simple by providing a patient portal where we were able to identify our must play songs and music preferences. His communication was also great all the way through. Dave was so much fun to work with and our guests stayed on the dance floor for the whole night after dinner! A couple of our guests who are planning their own wedding asked for his information at the end of the night since they had such a great time. Highly recommend Dave and Event Entertainment for any of your DJ needs!

We had the pleasure of working with DJ Dave Holmes for our wedding on 10/2/22 — he is amazing!! He is the utmost professional and met with us before the wedding to go over all of our details. Our ceremony music was flawless and the dance floor was filled during the entire reception!! Additionally, we used Event Entertainment for our Photo Booth — DJ Dave’s wife was equally fantastic in capturing so many wonderful pics that we’ll treasure forever. We highly recommend Event Entertainment and DJ Dave for any occasion — thank you again for making our day so special!!

Before our wedding, Dave met with me to talk through all our details. He even spliced together two songs for our father daughter dance! He went the extra mile to make our day awesome! So thankful we chose Dave for our big day!

Event Entertainment (and more specifically, Dave Holmes and his assistant) did an incredible job at our wedding back in May 2022! We have been to some weddings where the DJ’s playlist selection was questionable, which fragmented the dance floor experience. Selecting a great DJ was a top priority for us. After reaching out to Event Entertainment, we quickly got a response from Dave Holmes who had our date available. From our first phone call, Dave gave us confidence that he has the experience to keep the party going and read the crowd. Event Entertainment had a great website where you could list the songs that you wanted played for the important moments of your ceremony/reception. This template really helped us think about the major moments of our big day and helped the discussion with Dave as our wedding date approached. He used this form to really solidify the music plan for the day. We even had a choreographed first dance where we wanted him to fade the song at a specific moment and he seamlessly made it happen. Dave executed the event perfectly and helped make our wedding day special. We even surveyed some of our close friends to see what they thought and they loved how he ran the music.

Rob and Dave were great to work with. They were very professional and prompt. They were organized in planning our event. Rob was great at creating an engaging environment and coordinating people in photos without intruding into the event. He was able to capture the important moments while remaining in the background. He also had a great sense of humor through such a long day. Dave was able to determine our wants and keep a great vibe through the entire reception. He was attentive to the type of music that we wanted and was great about trying to plan ahead so that we get all of our requests in.

The Dj Dave did wonderful playing all the good music in order to keep my guest up dancing all night long.

We worked with Dave Holmes for our wedding and were so happy with his service! We found Event Entertainment through our preferred venue list and were glad he was familiar with our venue and had experience working there. He was very responsive to any questions we had and our song requests, including a couple songs that were not originally in his library. Dave did a great job at playing a good mix of music to keep everyone happy & on the dancefloor all night long. We also loved the surprise DVD that his team made for us. Would highly recommend

My husband and I searched for a while to find the perfect DJ for our wedding. Dave was a perfect fit. The Venn Diagram of our wedding styles was LGBT (we are a same sex couple), top pop, Caribbean (my husband is from PR), classic dance hits, and a slight mix of sci-fi. Dave had experience in all of these styles (gay weddings, sci fi, latino, and a mix of regular top pop dance music). He balanced the music with the rotating events of the wedding (entering with some pensive Battlestar Galactica and exiting with some Star Wars), the cocktail hour, and the reception (opening with Conga and ending with Sweet Caroline). He blended our different styles into one seamless experience.
He sent us a website that linked to a music database where we could populate the songs that we found interesting as well as adding in a few random songs that he may not have in his portfolio (which was extensive). After finalizing our list, we had a pre-wedding meeting with Dave where we discussed our musical/audio expectations and finalized the plan for the night. Dave was amazingly helpful and gave us advice on which songs would be perfect (quiet, somber, exciting, dance, etc) for different parts of our night. It was a huge success and we were very pleased with Dave. Dave was there for us whenever we needed anything. He even surprised us with a video of the event as a gift to the couple. I would highly recommend Dave to our LGBT friends and family looking for a wedding DJ.

DJ Dave was the absolute best and top notch customer service. I was seriously behind the ball with planning who to get for a DJ and he told me to take my take and he'd reserve the date anyway for me while I made a decision. Super quick response...

s too! On the day of the wedding I had zero things to think about since Dave coordinated directly with my venue to make sure all the details were perfect! Highly recommend!!

Event Entertainment was the best company to hire for our DJ needs. Not only did we use them for music and entertainment, we used them for our photobooth too. Dave was amazing and super friendly. He met with us before the wedding to go over our songs and was even able to help us find the version of our first dance song that was incredibly hard to find. After the wedding was over, my husband and I received a package in the mail from Event Entertainment and it was a short video of our wedding/reception. I didn't even know that Dave had been recording any of it and it was best little video we have! You must hire Event Entertainment, you will not regret it!

We were fortunate enough to have Dave Holmes from Event Entertainment recommended to us for our wedding. We started by browsing the typical vendor list that the venue provides, but we are so thankful we came across Dave's name through a friend.
Dave met with us both prior to the wedding and eased all of our uncertainties about the flow of our reception. He was very professional, easy to talk to and responsive. He wanted to make sure he accommodated all of our needs and you could tell he wanted to get to know us and prepare for the day! The online portal allowed us to request songs, create a do not play list, etc. It also had lists of song ideas organized by different categories which was very helpful. Dave had all of our music, even one Christian song we weren't expecting he would have for our first dance! One of the best things about our experience was that it ran so smooth and we could tell Dave had a great way of making sure all of the vendors (photographer, videographer, floor manager etc.) were in the loop and on track. We didn't hire a day of coordinator for our reception, but we didn't need one. Dave took cues, was flexible and made sure all of our guests were having good time and that our vendors could get what they needed as well. Once the music started and guests warmed up, the dancing did not stop! We had so much fun and would definitely recommend Dj Dave Holmes!!

My husband and I hired Event Entertainment for our wedding in June of 2019. Needless to say, we were overwhelmed with what a great choice that was. Dave met us a couple weeks before the wedding to get to know exactly what we were hoping for on our wedding day in regards to DJ services. Dave was professional, knowledgeable, and very flexible with our varying requests. On the day of the wedding, Dave arrived early and had everything set up in a very timely manner. There was never an interruption in the music and festivities. The sound equipment was perfect. When it was time to start dancing, Dave matched the music to every mood, from perfect dinner music to the best dancing. Everyone danced the whole night. He even had us do a conga line and brought tambourines and sombreros, which were an overwhelming hit. (We had asked Dave to do this from the beginning). Everyone had so much fun and we highly recommend his services to all engaged couples looking for a reasonably priced and extremely professional DJ. Thanks again, Dave!

DJ Dave did an amazing job DJ’ing my wedding. He was super responsive throughout the planning period and made sure to meet with us prior to the wedding to review the plan. The music was awesome and he played all our must haves. He took guest requests and made sure to gage the dance floor and play music accordingly. The photography package he offered was also stellar. The photographer, Mr Flanders did an amazing job and captured beautiful shots.

At the event, he played the perfect setlist and helped make sure we stayed on schedule so the bride and I could focus on having fun. He even took some video! I highly recommend Dave and his company if you're looking for the perfect DJ :).

We used Event Entertainment for DJ services, Videography, Photo booth, and up lighting and everything was wonderful. Dave and his team were professional and responsive and overall wonderful to work with. We have gotten nothing but compliments on our reception from how great the music was to all the awesome props for the photo booth and the uniqueness of our Guest Book (photo strips from the photo booth). Dave as our DJ was wonderful and checked in through out to make sure we were keeping on track with the timeline for the reception. We sat down with him a couple days before the wedding to go over everything and he even confirmed he had the correct songs downloaded and edited so there were no issue or mix ups. I truly appreciated that effort as we had heard horror stories of the wrong songs being played. We were nervous about keeping people on the dance floor especially since we tend to listen to music not a lot of people listen to. Dave kept it as a good mix of what we requested and what he knew would keep people going and we couldn't be happier.
I would also like to mention we are very impressed to have received our final wedding video 3 weeks after the wedding. We honestly weren't expecting to see it until after Christmas. While we haven't watched it yet, if it's anything like the highlight video we received it's going to be incredible.

Our dance floor was full from start to finish which was just what we wanted! We never felt like we had to manage this vendor, the whole process was very seamless. Dave's wife also came to help with set up and took some video of the day which was such an unexpected surprise! We loved working with Dave!

We used DJ Dave Holmes and his company Event Entertainment to DJ/MC our wedding in September and we are so happy with the results. He kept the party going and no one left the dance floor for at least 3 hours. He kept our guests entertained and did a great job at MC-ing all of the different aspects of the wedding like the introductions, cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc... He had a great mix of music for young and old that everyone wanted to dance to. I've seen DJs in the past that have great music that weren't good MCs or the other way around but that was not the case with DJ Dave! 

We met with him a week or two prior to our big day to figure out our time line and to make sure everyone was on board with how and when everything was to occur. He really made us feel heard and took all of our suggestions into account to give us the party we wanted. He was so professional and even played the songs for us to make sure he had the right versions selected. He was so cool and relaxed and answered all of our questions to make our big day as stress free as possible. We really felt at ease and confident in our decision to use him. 

He had an eclectic mix of music and really catered it to our audience. He really brought the fun! Our guests were so thrilled and I even had a few ask for his information before the end of the night!! 

Since our wedding day we have heard again and again how fun our wedding was and we completely credit that to Dave! We are so thankful that we used Dave and his company to DJ and MC our wedding because we had an absolute blast! If we could get married again we would hire him all over. 

I highly recommend him because of his professionalism, experience, and ability to cater to any audience!

Dave Holmes, the owner of Event Entertainment, was the DJ for my daughter's wedding on Aug 11th, 2018. From the first phone call to his follow up after the wedding, Dave was an absolute pleasure to work with. Dave has a lot of experience and was highly recommended by our caterer. Dave was very professional and very reasonable. He had the dance floor rocking the entire evening. Dave's corporate motto is "Exceeding Expectations" and he did exactly that. Unbeknownst to us, Dave and his wife went out of their way to capture some of the most memorable moments of the wedding.

I recommend using this, too, because my guests had a blast and there were so many amazing props to use! The scrapbook that came with it was also amazing and we will keep forever. We are so thrilled we chose Dave for our DJ! You won't regret it!

We chose DJ Dave Holmes based on very good reviews that we had saw during our search for a DJ. We met with him first and subsequently stopped our DJ search because our first meeting with him was great. Turns out he was a great choice. He was very easy to work with, very responsive and made the whole process of hiring and coordinating with a DJ very easy, which was nice so we could focus on planning other things. The website they use is very easy to use. You get to pick your preferred music and identify ceremony and other wedding music. He was able to play a few "custom" songs that we provided him and coordinate with my sisters singing during the ceremony. We met a few times before the wedding and never had any doubts. Complete professional. In terms of the reception, we got a lot of compliments that this was one of the most fun weddings with the most dancing they've seen. I highly recommend Dave or a DJ from Event Entertainment!!

Dave Holmes of Event Entertainment is the sweetest DJ you will meet around the greater Baltimore area! He is wonderful to work with because he is professional, attentive, organized, patient, and responsive. My husband and I worked extensively on our wedding playlists for each part of our big day, choosing certain songs for specific parts of the festivities. When we met with Dave at our final meeting after submitting our music, he showed us all our songs in playlists on his laptop ready to go for our special day. Not only did Dave listen to the style of music we wanted, but he also helped us choose songs that weaved nicely into our soundtrack and made any last-minute changes in a timely manner. It was very reassuring to see how prepared he was as a DJ for our wedding. Thank you to Dave and Event Entertainment for providing the best party music ever!!!

I met Dave about 18 months before my wedding and hired him immediately. A fellow Baltimorean, I knew I had made the right decision. I'm really glad I did. Dave was extremely accommodating and went out of his way to ensure I had the exact music and playlists I wanted. From our first dance compilation to our Trap music section, everything was perfect. He even sent me a video of our wedding highlights so we could relive everything. Weddings move very fast and becomes a blur, so the video was a nice touch.

Dave was outstanding! Dave was not only the DJ, he was also was a master of minding the reception, keeping everything moving on time. He worked with us for our music selection and the songs he chose were spot on for the crowd. I don't think I've ever been to a wedding or party where the music and dancing generated so much energy. It was so amazing, even the event photographers stayed beyond their allotted contract time because everyone was having so much fun. We also rented a photo booth from Dave and that was a great hit. We were also surprised when Dave went above and beyond and sent us video he recorded while he was working. If you're looking for an experienced and professional DJ, look no further.

We enjoyed working with Event Entertainment from the very beginning. So attentive to details and ensuring the event runs smoothly. Event Entertainment DJ'ed my sisters wedding two years ago and because they were phenomenal then I knew I had to book them for my big day. I couldn't say enough good things about their team. If I could give higher than 5 starts I would.

Dave was very accommodating. He was able to provide us with a sound setup for our traditional American style ceremony, but also our Burmese traditional ceremony too. After the ceremony was completed, he did an excellent job with the reception. Dave also provided us a videography service from his company which turned out great. We loved our highlights video that Alex edited.

Dave was absolutely amazing! He was easy to work with and always responded to emails within a couple hours tops! I asked him last minute to edit a hip hop song for me to dance with my brother at my wedding and he was extremely flexible and helpful!! He worked on it until it was exactly what I wanted! If you're looking for a friendly, helpful, and reliable dj - Dave is your guy!!!!! :)

Dave Holmes was awesome. He played all the music that we requested and the dance floor was full all evening. He did a great job of moving things along and staying on the reception time line. If anyone if looking for a very professional DJ for their event, look no further, Dave Holmes is your guy. I would highly recommend him.

Dave was great to work with from start to finish. He was always very responsive and accommodating and made the planning process very easy.

He provided great options to us and had the perfect selection of music. 
He listened to all of our requests and executed them perfectly.

We are SO happy we picked DJ Dave as our DJ and would highly recommend him.

DJ Dave was amazing, from the time we booked him until our wedding (and beyond). He is very responsive, and when we met with him prior to the wedding, he had all the music we had requested ready to go. In fact, when we were meeting with him, another couple came over to tell us that Dave had been their DJ 11 years prior, and they raved about him. At our wedding, he not only had the perfect music for cocktail hour and dinner, he also got our party started when people were ready to dance. Our wedding had a lot of people who did not want to leave the dance floor, so DJ Dave kept the party going. As we have seen friends after our wedding, so many have raved about how much fun they had, and how great the DJ was. As the bride, the whole day is a blur, but Dave sent me a video afterwards, that showed all our friends and family having a blast, and a packed dance floor.

We also were about to book our videographer with Dave, and had a great experience with him as well.

I had the privilege of working with Dave, the owner of Event Entertainment. While planning our wedding, I quickly realized that vendors really lack communication. I can say that Dave was the ONLY vendor that was very communicative. He would respond to my emails right away, and answer all of my questions (another thing I realized, some vendors wouldn't answer all questions). Our makeup artist/friend recommended Event Entertainment and I am so happy that she did. We wanted a fun wedding, and we got that with Dave. Everyone was dancing right from the start and that was important to me. Dave was very professional and even had his wife at our wedding to help out. She recorded a lot of our wedding, and we received a very nice video. Dave met up with us at the venue during our tasting, so he could make sure he had the proper cord to connect to their system for the cocktail hour. A week prior to our wedding we met again, and he went over songs that we wanted, or didn't want played. It was nice, because he even asked if I had a song from my college years that he should play. Dave was even flexible when we weren't sure if the weather would be decent enough to have our ceremony outside. It is hard trying to decide which vendors to go with while planning a wedding, unless someone is recommended. We would highly recommend Event Entertainment and even had several people tell us how great our DJ was.

I got in contact with Dave about 8 months ago when I first started researching DJs. From the very first moment we spoke I could tell how professional and easy he would be to work with. Dave always responded promptly and was extremely flexible during my busy schedule (being in military training during the last 4 months before the wedding). Dave knows his stuff. Since it was a half-Hispanic wedding, he provided a great mix of Latin and American music that both sides of the family enjoyed! He is also always there to help and offer suggestions but will never step on your toes. I could say millions of great things about Dave's services, but I'll just some it up by saying that he made my wedding day perfect. Highly recommend to anyone!

We considered Event Entertainment for our DJ services based on a friend's recommendation. After reading several online reviews and watching videos on their website, we decided to book them for our October wedding in Taneytown, MD. We made sure to specifically request DJ Dave Holmes, and it ended up being the best decision ever. Throughout the planning process, DJ Dave was extremely professional and responsive. We especially loved Event Entertainment's planning website, which ensured that we were all on the same page regarding song preferences, reception logistics, etc. About a month before the wedding, we met with Dave in person to finalize any last-minute details and go over things like name pronunciations. During the reception, Dave was an excellent MC...he said just enough without distracting from the main events. Once our guests made it to the dance floor after dinner, nobody left. Dave really knows how to keep the party going and feel out a crowd. Several guests told us that they were planning to take a break to get another drink or use the restroom, but as soon as one good song ended, another good song started, and they didn't want to leave! Other guests have told us that Dave was the best DJ they've ever seen at a wedding. And we agree! Dave Holmes with Event Entertainment is a great DJ for a great value.

The company Event Entertainment truly stands to its name! If you need a DJ, Videographer, Photographer and Photobooth please use this company! I had them all through Event Entertainment and It was absolutely easy throughout the entire process. last thing you need on your wedding day is to contact multiple vendors when instead all you have to do is ask Dave! Best EVER!! Now onto DJ Dave! He is absolutely professional and makes sure that you are 100% satisfied with all of your choices at you pre wedding consultation meeting. By the time of your wedding, you have nothing to worry about because Dave has taken care of it. He monitors the other vendors that were booked with in Event Entertainment to make sure that they are on time so you won't have to worry about that! Dave is truly an amazing DJ and makes sure to get the crowd moving and grooving the entire night! Please pick Dave as your DJ! The photo booth that I had was absolutely awesome and I had so many people take pictures, I was so happy to make that choice! The quality and the detail was perfect also, there were SO many props to choose from a it's definitely a great time! For the Videographer Alex, Dave assigned him to me and I must say I absolutely lucked out! Alex was so professional and so detail oriented, he truly made me thankful to have him as my Videographer. Plus, the "movie" that I got. Ask for my wedding made me cry more than at my wedding. It was truly touching and I couldn't ask for anything else! My photographer was Nizam and he knocked it out of the ball park! I had Nizam and his assistant taking pictures throughout the getting process until the end of the wedding night. I had soooo many pictures and I was extremely happy with every single one.

DJ Dave was very professional and accommodating. His prices are very affordable and he did a great job at our wedding. He is also very thoughtful and can roll with the punches when last minute changes are made. My grandparents were added to the list (last minute) to walk into the reception room with us and he reacted quickly by jotting down their names and asking us to verify the proper pronunciation of their names. He pronounced their names fairly well for someone who does not speak Korean!

From the moment we sent our first email to Dave inquiring about his services, he was extremely responsive and appeared genuinely excited and prepared to help us make our wedding day everything we wanted and more. That on top of his reasonable prices made him a no brainer choice for us. Dave’s responsiveness to all of questions and requests never changed and he always worked to ensure that everything is what we wanted. I had a few surprises for my husband and he made sure that my husband did not find out about them and confirmed those details via email with me. On the day of the event, he arrived with plenty of time to set up and ensure everything was functioning properly. Our minister is soft spoken and that with a windy, outdoor wedding, he was able to ensure our guests could hear our ceremony by providing a small microphone and speaker. We gave Dave the freedom play the music he felt would keep our guests dancing, and he did an amazing job because our dance floor was never empty! 
Dave’s wife was also in attendance to assist him, and she was just as amazing as he was. We found out after our wedding, that during our ceremony, one of grandparents was cold, and Dave’s wife took it upon herself to give up her coat to ensure that our grandparent was comfortable. She was generous enough to allow our grandparent to wear the jacket until the time that our grandparent left. Dave and his wife were so amazing to work with and made it their goal to ensure our day was absolutely perfect.

It was absolutely great working with Dave and we are so thankful for the fantastic job he did as our wedding DJ. He was very responsive leading up to the event and took the time to meet with us a few days beforehand to go over the final details. He brought a great energy and was able to keep us on schedule throughout the night to help everything run smoothly. Our guests were on the dance floor all night! We would definitely be recommend Event Entertainment to anyone looking for a professional, experienced, and fun DJ for their event.

DJ Dave Holmes was easy to work with and exceeded our expectations of a DJ. He was very accommodating of our special requests. He played appropriate music for the dinner and dancing. The music was not too loud so it was still easy to have conversations during dinner. He was dressed appropriately for the event.

We would definitely use him again and recommend his services to others.

I cannot thank Event Entertainment enough for all of their hard-work for my wedding on July 16, 2016. DJ Dave Holmes was AMAZING! He met with my husband and I before the wedding to go over all the details! He wanted to make sure that he had everything correct before the day of. We weren't exactly sure of what music to play during the ceremony, but Dave had a whole bunch of ideas to help us decide! We also decided to use their photography and photo booth services. These services were just as exceptional as the DJ service!! Rob was our photographer and he was just outstanding! Very professional, but very relaxed at the same time! He took AMAZING pictures and returned them to us on a CD very fast!! The photo booth was a BIG hit with my family. They loved all the props and the fact that everyone got their own copy of the pictures. I received a CD 2 weeks later that had all of the photo booth pictures on it. Dave even took a video of the wedding which was GREAT because I didn't even think of that. I also received a DVD of the video that was made! I enjoyed each and every picture. My day was captured perfectly and I am so happy that I had Event Entertainment there to help make my special day perfect!!

He even came over a few days ahead of time to see the layout and go over some logistics! What really impressed us was that he truly enjoyed his "job" as DJ! And he had a perpetual smile the entire evening! His wife ran the photo booth and she was lovely and helpful as well.

Dave Holms was a phenomenal DJ! Everyone loved him. He respected our values and wishes. Throughout the night he was good about sticking to our timeline and was able to go with the flow when the apron dance took longer than expected! My husband and I had a first dance made of several mixed songs and Dave had no problem working with the CD we provided for him. In addition to his services the night of, Dave provided us with a 22 minute edited video within 24 hours of our wedding. This was a total surprise and such a great touch!

We look forward to the videography video in the upcoming weeks. The videographer was also on top of his game the night of our wedding. He made sure he arrived early to capture our first look!

My husband and I look forward to recommending Event Entertainment to all of our friends and family.

When we met him we told him he was the most important part as he was the MC, provided the flow of the evening and had to keep an eye on keeping the party going. He did not disappoint! We had the best time and so did all our guests who ranged from 3 years old to grand parents! Every one told us how great the music was and how awesome Dave was which we already knew! He was above and beyond what we could have hoped for on our wedding day!

We were impressed by Dave, which is something you may not realize is important in a DJ. The music was excellent, a nice mix of classic and newer music that was a hit with every generation and group at our wedding, but he also went above and beyond to tailor our ceremony music and other selections to our preferences including using specific versions and sections of larger works. He also managed the whole affair, expertly pacing out the reception events, keeping the whole event moving along at a nice clip so the reception felt fresh right up until the end. He also kept the microphone away from my nutty aunt, always a smart move.

All I can say is WOW! The owner, Dave, DJ'd our wedding and I can't say enough wonderful things. Our wedding party and guests are not exactly a dancing group. Well, that certainly wasn't the case at our wedding. Dave got a great feel for the crowd, the music we loved, and we barely left the dance floor. Everyone I talked to the next day was hoarse (great sign of a good time!) and said they've never had so much fun at a wedding. Thank you, Dave!!!

DJ Dave was amazing. My family is Italian and some of the wedding party had difficult names to pronounce. He worked very hard to ensure that he knew how to say their names when introducing them. Also, he ensured that some of our traditional songs were played, emailing me a few times to make sure he had the right audio files. We spoke frequently with plans and timelines and met before hand to discuss music choices and song lists. His wife came the big night and little did we know was recording our reception and surprised us with a wonderful reception video (we did not have a videographer at the reception). Most importantly, he kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night! He was my favorite vendor by far to work with.

Dave Homes was the absolute best. Anytime I had a question/problem/concerned, he was so easy to get a hold of, he got back to me within minutes. On our wedding day, he was there early and ready to party, I had no worries with him handling the music. He played a variety of music that both my 92 year old grandmom and 9 year old new brother in law could dance too. The dance floor was never empty, I wish our night never ended everyone had so much fun. We've been married a month now and still hearing from our friends and family about how much fun they had. Thank you so much for making our day special for us.

We used Event Entertainment for our wedding this past weekend with Dj Dave Holmes as our DJ. He was absolutely amazing and very experienced. He was so easy to get in contact with during the planning stages, was very flexible and where to meet to set-up the details, and on the day-of he didn't have to ask me any questions. He made sure I filled out the convenient wedding planning website they have, and he made sure that all of our wishes and requests were met. He was the perfect balance of professional, fun, and not-at-all cheesy. As a bonus, his wife attended and video-taped my wedding and created a 15-minute, good-quality highlight video. I highly recommend using Dave Holmes as a DJ for your event!

Let me begin by saying we could not have been happier with the services of Event Entertainment and our DJ. Dave Holmes was the DJ for our wedding on 10/17/15. When we first contacted Event Entertainment about DJing services, they responded very quickly and automatically set us up with Dave. They provided a price quote upfront, which was very reasonable. Dave was so nice and professional, and always responsive, responding very quick to any questions/comments we had. We had some songs that we definitely wanted to be played during the rest of the reception, but we also left most of it up to Dave to pick which songs were appropriate to keep our guests on the dance floor. He did great! Our guests were dancing all night and all said how good the music was. At the last minute, I mean like an hour or two before the wedding started, my mother asked Dave if he had any uplights with him that he could set up. He didn’t have any with him but offered to make a quick run to his house (thankfully which was just down the road) and grab some. We were so thankful of this and the lights looked awesome! They really were a nice touch. Dave also videotaped some of our wedding, made a video, and shared it with us. This was unexpected, but very appreciated, and really left us in awe. Talk about going above and beyond! 
I would highly recommend Event Entertainment (specifically Dave, although I am sure all of the other DJs are great as well) to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding or special event. You will not be disappointed!! The customer service was outstanding and they are great to work with. Thank you Dave for everything, although we can’t thank you enough!!

We had a Sunday wedding. I was scared people were not going to get out and dance and have a good time like I wanted them to. This was NOT the case. Dave had everyone on the dance floor the WHOLE night! People did not finish dinner or eat cake because they were having too good of a time dancing all night to stop!

Not only was Dave's music great but he was also super helpful. I struggled to pick a few of my important songs and he sat with me at Panera and went through folders of music helping me find the perfect song. So many people came up and told me how sweet my granddaughter/ grandfather song was. And I owe that to Dave!

One more thing I love this company for is they took a video of my wedding day. From the prep to the ceremony to the dancing. It is a video my husband and I will cherish all our lives. It is so special and shows how much fun everyone is having (thanks to Dave.)

I have already handed out 2 of his business cards to people at my wedding that loved him so much they want to use him for their weddings. They loved how he kept everyone dancing, and played music everyone could dance to no matter their age.

Dave also keeps in mind that you are spending a ton on a wedding and is very reasonably priced!

I OBVIOUSLY give my HIGHEST recommendation to Dave if you are looking for a fun wedding!!

Dave Holmes was the DJ for our wedding and he was AMAZING through every step of the process. He was very responsive to e-mails and everything was so easy from day 1. The online planning forms were thorough and easy to use. We met with Dave a little over a week before the wedding to go over all our selections and introductions and as soon as he told us that all of our musical choices were songs he usually played, we were even more confident that our reception would be great. And it was! The dance floor was packed all night and everyone I spoke with raved about the job Dave did. He even played a couple school songs from our alma mater for a special moment for all the alumni present at the wedding. He created a short video of highlights from our reception which I love because we didn't have a videographer. I can't recommend Dave and Event Entertainment enough!

All I wanted to do at the reception was dance, and the music was perfect! Everyone was up dancing the whole time after dinner! What a fun night!

We had the pleasure of having DJ Dave Holmes as our DJ at our cocktail hour and wedding reception on August 22nd. Dave was wonderful to work with!!! From the start, he was very responsive, answering all of my questions right away and providing me with important information regarding the music for the reception. As we got closer to the big day, he contacted me multiple times checking in with us to make sure he had the correct songs, correct pronunciation of names to announce , etc. We had him provide uplighting for our reception space, and he did not have the exact color I wanted, but he was able to find it right away and was happy to do so. On the day of, it looked beautiful in the room. The music played was exactly our taste, at one point in the last hour of the reception I asked him if he could play mostly newer music since a lot of the older crowd had left and he was very receptive and did just that. He really kept the party going and everyone danced the whole night! If you want to have a FUN wedding reception, book DJ Dave :)

We booked Event Entertainment and had the owner, Dave Holmes, as our DJ. We were very impressed with Dave! He met with us the week before to make sure we had everything set. He also handled our ceremony music, which was perfect. My husband wrote and recorded a song for my processional, and Dave was able to use that track for the wedding. We left the decision making on a lot of the reception music up to his judgement and he did not disappoint. Everyone was up dancing as soon as dinner was over and there was never that awkward moment where everyone leaves the dance floor. I would highly recommend Event Entertainment! I thought the price was reasonable as well!

I would absolutely refer Dave Holmes and his wife to any bride and groom (and I have!) As a photographer myself, I have happily referred Dave of Event Entertainment to couples looking for a DJ because I have now both worked with him at a wedding, as well as had him DJ my own - and all experiences with him and his wife have been wonderful! For starters, they are just really down to earth and pleasant people to talk to. Very easy going and accommodating. We had some particular song choices for things like cocktail hour and special dances, and Dave made time with us on the phone to play the songs and make sure they were the ones we wanted. We've heard lots of great feedback from guests that they enjoyed the music, had (appropriate, ha!) requests honored, and had a great time! And to top it all off, they REALLY go above and beyond with a sweet video to document highlights of the parts of the day they were there for, AND they even very graciously helped a lost bridesmaid get back to the hotel! :) DJ Dave is fantastic and I hope to work with him again in the future!

We met Dave Holmes from Event Entertainment at a bridal show held at our wedding venue. From the start, we could tell Dave was very experienced with weddings and party events. Dave was very reassuring during our planning meetings and made us feel like he would keep everything under control during our special day; and he delivered. Everything was set up professionally and there were plenty of speakers placed throughout the reception. Sound levels were great and everyone could hear the music without it blasting over everyone’s conversation. We gave Dave a music playlist of songs we wanted to hear and he did a great job or playing our favorites while also incorporating some of the latest hit wedding songs that would really pump up the crowd. He also incorporated some mixes he made that were fantastic! Once the dancing started, it never stopped and everyone had such a great time. We had a few guests with odd requests, Dave handled each request professionally and made sure not to play anything that wouldn't have mixed with the vibe. Dave also made a video of our reception and shared it with us, it was so much fun to watch and we really appreciate that he helped us to preserve those memories.. We can not thank Dave enough for his wonderful talent as a DJ and we highly recommend Event Entertainment.

Event Entertainment was recommended to me by a family member who has witnessed the great quality of the company at other weddings. Specifically, DJ Dave Holmes provided the music entertainment for my outdoor wedding reception last Saturday. I couldn't have asked for a better DJ! As far as flexibility goes, Dave deserves more than just five stars. Not only did we have to cut the cake first because it happened to be falling over, but then we were missing a few groomsmen for the introductions and even had a severe thunderstorm hit thirty minutes before the reception was supposed to end. Let's just say, not everything went according to the planned schedule I gave Dave. Dave not only kept everything together, he did it all so smoothly and with charm that it almost looked planned. My guests had such a great time and many came up to me throughout the night and praised the selection of music. I'm not sure there was ever a moment where the dance floor was even half empty. Dave kept the party going and I'd highly recommend him!

Dave was great to work with as we got close to our event. He met with us over the phone to go over every song selection and to make sure it was what we wanted. He did a great job of keeping the party going once it got time to dance. He continued to work with us the day of as we made some last minute changes, so he is very flexible. He even provided us with a highlights video of some parts of our wedding, which was a great surprise. Highly recommend!

DJ Dave Holmes and his team did an amazing job start to finish for our wedding at Celebrations at the Bay in Pasadena, MD. He helped guide the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception to perfection. His preparation was meticulous and he showed great flexibility when the timeline was shaken up due to unforeseen circumstances. We can only recommend Event Entertainment for your event. He also helped our family to plug in their guitars for live music without problems.

Dave Holmes from Event Entertainment was the DJ at my sister's wedding 2 years ago and I knew I wanted him to by the DJ at mine. He is so friendly, nice, and responsive. He answered all my questions right away and the user friendly website made it SO easy to coordinate the entire evening. He is very knowledgeable about how things should flow that I didn't have to worry about anything. Not only was Dave amazing and helped the night go smoothly but he also was able to videotape some of the night so now we can look back whenever we want!

Dave Holmes was excellent!!! The reception music and lighting were everything we were looking for in our daughter's reception. Dave met with our daughter to understand her likes and dislikes, what she wanted to include in the reception itinerary and made available all of our music choices at the appropriate times from cocktail hour to dinner to the dance party! Everyone loved the music! Thanks Dave

DJ Dave was awesome!! Our wedding night was perfect and he really kept the dance floor going. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. He was cooperative and responsive leading up to the wedding and had a huge selection of music. He even took the time to meet with us a week before our wedding to make sure he had all of the right versions of our major songs and to also go through some of the music that we wanted at our cocktail hour and dinner. At the wedding Dave played the perfect mix of songs for all generations of guests. I received so many compliments from friends and family on the music. He was also a recommended vendor from our wedding venue so he was already familiar with the space and the people so all coordination on our part was hands off. That freed us up to focus on the big day. He also put together a complimentary video of portions of our reception and sent it to us the next day which we were totally surprised with. DJ Dave is the best!!!

Don't look anywhere else- book DJ Dave! He was wonderful to work with. My husband and I are a bit unusual. We wanted to incorporate a bunch of themes from our favorite movies and T.V.shows for the ceremony and reception, like Star Wars and Game of Thrones. Dave didn't even bat an eyelash-done! He was very thorough during our meetings, making sure to get the right feel for our wedding. He even provided us with a video that he shot, edited and put on YouTube. That was completely unexpected. Listen, you want this to be easy, right? You have a million things to stress about when it comes to planning a wedding. Give yourself a break and hire Dave. He'll take care of you, so all you have to worry about is making sure Great Aunt Myrtle doesn't get too heavy into the hooch.

DJ Dave was great. We were pretty flexible with the song list and he was great at making different song suggestions. During the wedding, we had given him a list of songs to choose from to play but we told him to just go for it as far as feeling out the crowd. There wasnt too much room to dance but, once people began to dance Dave played songs to keep everyone out there ! The price was super reasonable, $995, for the great job that he did !

Event entertainment is by far the best at what they do. They were a recommended vendor for our venue and I can see why! They had an easy to use planning website that allowed us to pick the songs that we wanted played and limit the ones we did not. I requested a song for our first dance that was not in their library. Dave responded right away and said he could get the song. He was always available when we had questions. As for the actual day of, it was amazing! The music during the ceremony was on point and perfect. I have never seen so many people dance at a wedding and stay on the dance floor all night. He played all of the right music, appealing to all ages and keeping everyone dancing. I still have people telling me how amazing the night was and how much fun they had. To top it all of, he sent me a link to a video mix of the wedding that weekend! I am so excited to have that to always remember our wedding. I would recommend Event Entertainment to anyone who needs a DJ!

I cannot say enough great things about Dave Holmes and Event Entertainment. First and foremost, he was by far our most responsive vendor, answering any question or concern I had throughout the wedding process almost instantaneously. Also, having been the DJ at a previous family wedding, we witnessed firsthand his expertise at keeping the music and party going, and our wedding was no different! He plays music for the ages and had all of our guests on the dance floor throughout the night. I am so grateful he was our DJ and would highly recommend him to any future bride!

We had the pleasure of using event entertainment for DJ and photography services! They did a fantastic job! Dave was an amazing DJ for our day time wedding and he kept the party going, for all ages for the full reception! I couldn't have asked for a better DJ! Dave was available to meet/ chat with us through out the whole planning process! Not to mention, his prices were great and SO worth the value! We had Rob Grant photograph our wedding day. AMAZING. He was prompt, attentive to detail, captured fantastic photos throughout the day and the best part is that we didn't really know he was there! His journalistic style was perfect! He captured the whole day but always did it in a classy, non noticeable way! It was perfect for us! Great pricing too!

My DJ was Dave Holmes, and he was fantastic! Throughout the planning process he was always very responsive, and helpful. Even when I asked the same question a couple times ("wedding brain" is real!) he never made me feel like I was bothering him. And then the day of, he was everything I could have asked for. The ceremony went perfectly, the music was exactly how I imagined it. And the reception was the fun party we wanted it to be; he played all our songs in the perfect order to get people up and dancing, with perfectly timed slow songs to catch our breath. Dave also was instrumental in keeping the night's events going according to schedule :)

Words cannot express how thankful I am to have booked Dave and Event Entertainment! Thank you, Dave!

We knew that Dave was the DJ we wanted at our wedding the minute we met him. He was fun, personable, and inviting from the beginning. He worked with us through the entire process and even met with us a few days before the wedding to ensure we had everything in place. The music was great, the guests loved it and I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Dave Holmes was our DJ for our wedding in September and he was AMAZING!! A lot of times vendors can be pushy and make you feel pressured but not Dave. His rate was fair and he listened to everything we wanted. His simple online form made planning a breeze and very convenient.

As far as the dancing and party music, everyone had a blast and danced all night long!!! We told Dave they style of music we liked and he delivered! Our venue coordinator went as far as to say he could not remember the last wedding they hosted where the dance floor was not just that full, but that packed for the entire night!!

Dave provided questions for the shoe game, costumes for the YMCA dance and props for the conga line. Our guests loved it all! Everyone keeps complimenting our selection of DJ! Not to mention the video Dave put together and sent to us!!! Just an all around respectable vendor and great guy!! Highly Highly recommend!!

DJ Dave was awesome. From the very start, he was very easy to communicate with - over email he was super-responsive and quick and helpful in his replies. He went above and beyond his DJ services, also offering us advice about the order of our day.

A week before our wedding, DJ Dave met with us at a location convenient to us, and sat down and ironed out all of the details for our big day. He made sure to get the correct pronunciation for every day, and took our music requests and made suggestions of his own about how to best accommodate our guests on the dance floor.

The day of our wedding, there was a huge thunderstorm in the area - it looked so bad on the radar that our wedding coordinator actually "called" it and moved the outdoor ceremony location to the rain backup site. DJ Dave originally got all of his equipment set up here - but when our coordinator decided that we might be able to do it in the preferred location about 10 minutes before the ceremony start time, he and his wife collapsed all of his equipment and moved it all down the hill to the other location. By the time the ceremony started, everything was in place.

Our ceremony sound went off without a hitch - DJ Dave even did a great job of accommodating our two singers of greatly different heights. The music and dialogue all sounded great and nothing was too loud or quiet. As soon as our ceremony ended, he was able to pack up all of his equipment very quickly to get out of the storm.

During the cocktail hour and dinner, DJ Dave played romantic songs which added to the atmosphere, and during the reception, he kept the dance floor entirely packed, even playing some Latin music when he found out that we had Latin family. His lighting show that he brought as a bonus was super rad and atmospheric. He pronounced everyone's name correctly, and acted as a great MC introducing different events - the cake cutting, the photo booth closing, etc.

I'd highly recommend him for ANY event!

Dave Holmes from Event Entertainment, was the DJ for our daughters wedding. Dave was great, from the first time we met; organized, informative and had so many choices of music available. We were so impressed, we booked him that day.
He kept the music going and had guests on the dance floor all the time. Everyone had a wonderful time and we appreciate the video his wife took of the wedding. It was a great way to share the event, with family and friends who could not attend.
We highly recommend Dave and Event Entertainment for your event.

I am soooo glad that I picked Dave Holmes as my DJ for my wedding at Celebrations at the Bay. He was extremely reasonably priced and he worked very hard to make our day perfect. We had the ceremony on the grassy side and the reception in the ballroom and he made sure the music was loud and clear on both sides, even while we were taking pictures after the ceremony. He never said no to any of my song selections and I had some really random songs such as "Baby Got Back - Richard Cheese". Dave took the time to meet up with us to finalize all the song details. He listened to everything that we had to say and he keep the dance floor going all night. The planning website was very easy to use and if I didn't see the song that I wanted, he found it for me. Also, his lovely wife made us a beautiful video that we will cherish forever. Thanks again Mr. and Mrs. Holmes!

I had Dj Dave Holmes. He was awesome!!! A lot of my families' weddings have had djs that we're disappointing. Dave was great! I'm on a tight budget and Dj Dave was very flexible. He also went out of his way and found me a videographer. Though it was way out of my price range, he surprised us with a video if our ceremony and reception! Above and beyond what we could have ever wanted! He was recommended by our venue but I would personally like to recommend him. He played all appropriate music, was able to loop, fade, and cut music to exactly what we wanted. A great Dj!

Dear Dave, 

I want to express my deepest thanks to you for being such a fantastic DJ for our wedding reception back in June. From the beginning you were easy to work with, understanding and provided excellent customer service. Thank you so much for chatting with my mom and me before the wedding to go over the details. I'm so happy you did! The music selection was excellent and keeping the momentum throughout the party was sensational. The props were a fabulous addition, definitely a hit and favorite amongst the guest. We are still hearing comments. Thank you again for your awesome contribution. We sincerely appreciate it.

DJ Dave Holmes from Event Entertainment was a fantastic DJ and emcee at our wedding aboard the USS Constellation in the Baltimore Inner Harbor. Our requirements were: quality music, limited MC responsibilities, keep people on the dance floor and work our unique venue without extra fees/complaints. There are tons of DJs out there, but few as accommodating as Dave and none as enthusiastic about working our venue. We found most DJs to have high maintenance personalities that found excuses to charge extra fees and increase the price. DJ Dave was the exact opposite to our great delight.

Event Entertainment’s website helped us determine our wedding timeline and had plenty of song selections. We spoke with Dave a couple of weeks before the wedding to go over everything. He took great care to make sure he got the correct pronunciation of all the names, and he played for us the songs we chose (ceremony, introductions, first dance, cake cutting, etc.) to make sure they were right.

Because Dave had never done an event on the USS Constellation before, he told us he would get there early. Sure enough, Dave and his crew got there with ample of time, and worked with our venue and caterer to find suitable locations to setup. Given our venue’s unusual shape with multiple floors and being in the middle of the bustling Inner Harbor, we were concerned about the sound projection, but Dave’s equipment was more than adequate and projected sound clearly throughout the ship, even the lower deck where our cocktail hour took place.

Dave judged the crowd and played music that kept guests of all ages on the dance floor all night. He and his crew dressed and acted professionally and cleaned up quickly. They even made a video for us and posted it online the very next day. What a fantastic surprise!

Working with DJ Dave Holmes was straight forward, easy and stress free. He far exceeded our expectations, and we would recommend him to anyone hosting an event. Thank you, Dave!

I am so happy I went with Dave Holmes with Event Entertainment! He is so easy going and really knows his stuff. We interviewed both of the preferred DJs from our venue and the first one was a typical super cheesy DJ who we did not like at all! When we sat down with Dave he just seemed so cool and straight to the point. He won us over when he had our song on his system already (its a very obscure Van Morrison song). We decided to book with him and his website makes everything so easy. I could make a list of all the songs that I wanted played and put little notes as to when I wanted them. If I wanted songs that weren't listed I would send him an email and he would always respond very quickly. I wanted an acoustic version of a popular song while my bridal party walked down the isle and he found the perfect version. We met him again about a week before our wedding and went over everything. He gave us his opinion about each song that we picked because he has so much experience and knows what songs will get everyone up and dancing. He was so right! Everyone at my wedding danced and had a great time!! We chose not to hire a videographer because of the price and we had no idea but Dave brought someone with him that was secretly filming the majority of the party! He edited the footage and made a 20 minute video that he shared with me. It was perfect and really captured every aspect of the night! I put in each couple walking down the isle, the best parts of the ceremony, the cocktail hour, a bit or each speech, our first dance and a lot of dancing! It was perfect. Also, he is going to send us in DVD format, the full unedited video that is about an hour of footage! DJ Dave Holmes is AMAZING and really won my wedding!!

Dave was an amazing DJ and emcee at our wedding! He was very flexible during the reception as we got a little off our planned schedule. Our guests commented many times on the quality of the music mix that Dave played, and that was a result of Dave taking the time to meet with us to get a feel for our musical tastes. We suggested a few songs and styles and he took it from there. We also had a few songs for the reception that were not in his library, but he got them and put them into the soundtrack of our day. Highly recommend this DJ!

DJ Dave Holmes was wonderful at our wedding. He and his wife took care of setting up the equipment both for the ceremony and the reception. He was very responsive and met with us a couple times in person before the wedding to make sure he had all of our song selections and preferences. He has a large library of songs and for the selections we made that were not in his library, he went out and got them for us at no extra charge. When we weren’t entirely satisfied with the version of a song we wanted for the ceremony, he gave us 5 or 6 alternatives to listen to so that we could pick the one we liked best. During the reception, he played a wide variety of songs to get a feel for the crowd and determine which types of songs got people out dancing. We can’t recall a time when the dance floor was empty. He also helped keep us on track and manage our time. He was very good about playing the songs we requested before the wedding and he even took guest requests during the reception.

We had a great DJ. He handled our wedding music, which was outside wedding and an inside reception. They have a great online setup process to get your play and no play list. Also the schedule of the event. He met with with my daughter two weeks prior to be sure that everything was in order. he came to the event/venue and step up everything and did not require anything from the wedding party. That is so important the hours before the ceremony are hectic enough and this made it comforting that he was handling a vey important aspect of our daughters wedding. Dave Holmes did a great job.

Event Entertainment has an easy to use website and every song imaginable. And if for some reason they don't have your song, they will purchase it for you. Dave called us a few days prior to go over all the songs, the names of the bridal party, and the rest of the details. Very easy to work with!! He even had a camera with him and recorded the highlights of the evening and made it available to us on YouTube.

Dave Holmes at Event Entertainment was our DJ. He was FANTASTIC in every way. Dave was very communicative during the planning process, solicited our suggestions about what music we wanted and didn't want and made valuable suggestions. There's a website that we populated which outlined the timeline of the reception and which songs we wanted for each phase. We are not the typical 20-30 something couple. This was a second wedding for both of us. We were both widowed several years ago and have grown children but we chose to have a traditional, formal wedding and reception. Dave played all of the songs we specified and more along those lines and, more importantly, didn't play those songs/type of music we did not want. He is a consummate professional, showed up early, and played up until the very last minute (or longer). To further complicate Dave's job, my daughter, who is in musical theater, sang 4 songs at the ceremony and 5 songs at the reception, and Dave set her and a friend up with microphones and hooked our keyboard up to his sound system. This all happened so smoothly and is not something that all DJs will do. Many of our guests made a point of telling us that the music was the best they've ever heard at a wedding - just the perfect mix and not too loud, but just loud enough! It was just PERFECT! Dave's wife was his assistant and she made a short video of the wedding/reception which Dave sent to us right after the wedding and then posted it on youtube. It's still there! What a nice surprise and bonus!! Our formal videos won't be available to see for another month so having that video is very special! Thanks Dave for making our wedding reception memorable!!

Dave Holmes was our DJ through Event Entertainment and he did an incredible job! He was very easy to work with and extremely prompt with his replies. We had a full dance floor most of the night and we received compliments on how great he was. He is not a cheesy DJ at all and catered the music to the guests. I loved the online planning tool, as it made everything very organized and he was able to make our reception exactly how we wanted it. There is a section where you can choose songs you want played and don't want played. We met in person about a week before the wedding to go over all the last minute details and to ensure he knew what we wanted from him. We didn't have a videographer but Dave actually made a short 15 min video of highlights from our wedding. It was such a great surprise! I highly recommend Dave Holmes!

From start to finish Dave Holmes did a fantastic job with our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Dave kept our large crowd of over 200 attendees on the dance floor all night. Dave was extremely organized and he executed everything just the way we wanted. In addition, Dave also provided us with a short video of our wedding including all the key pieces that we would want. This was not in the contract, nor did we ask for it. It was just a pleasant surprise and it was obvious that he went out of his way to make our day the best that it could be. I would highly recommend Dave Holmes to friends and family in the future. Thanks again for making our day so special.

We used event entertainment (Dave Holmes) for our June 1 wedding at the Baltimore Museum of Industry. All we wanted in a DJ was someone who would get our guests out on the dance floor, laughing, singing, and dancing their pants off all night...and Dave made it happen...and then some!!! From start to finish, Dave was incredibly professional, warm hearted and friendly, too! From the kind (and incredibly fast responding) emails to his encouragement of our off beat wedding theme and ceremony music he truly made us feel at ease and confident in him from day one. Weddings cause a LOT of stress. A lot. We had one or two nightmare vendor experiences. But Dave was NOT one of them! Put your mind at ease and choose event entertainment...specifically Dave to ensure your wedding day is transformed into the most fun day of your lives! Side note-Dave also created a 15 minute highlight real video of our wedding for us as a surprise! It may be our favorite thing we have from the wedding. He is fantastic!!!!

DJ Dave Holmes was awesome! He was extremely flexible and was able to carry out some of our special requests. He also got to the venue early and helped our musician with setting up. He even surprised my husband and I with a short video montage capturing the special moments of the day, so that we would have something to watch before we received the video from our videographer! We were so excited to see the footage the next day before our honeymoon, and he did it for free and without us even having to ask.

He was extremely professional, played great music, and ensured that our reception was all we had hoped for! I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to book a wonderful, upbeat and talented DJ for their event!

Dave Holmes is the best DJ in the world. He was so kind and attentive to our wants and needs, and when you get him in front of a crowd, he has the voice, the enthusiasm, and clear experience that made our wedding wonderful! We are still receiving accolades a month after our wedding about the DJ, choice of music, and crowd interaction. Dave also remembered something i said in our week prior planning meeting that he brought up during our first dance. That touched me so much that he remembered something so important to me. If you want a consummate professional and a salt of the earth individual to make your event memorable, not to mention a music expert, look no further, you have him here. :) thank you Dave!

With the range of age groups represented at the wedding, our goal was for everyone to enjoy the music. We all had a BLAST!! Thank you Event Entertainment :)

We really enjoyed working with Dave on the music for our wedding. We found him to be responsive and the planning sheet he provided was very helpful. He also handled a last-minute curveball really well, finding a way to project two videos I had made for the Father /Daughter dance and the Mother / Son dance. He also played exactly the music we had requested for each part of the evening (cocktail hour, dinner hour, dance reception) and wasn't cheesy at all (I know you're all wondering!). We really liked working with him and I would recommend him to any other bride looking for music for their event.

We were lucky enough to get Dave Holmes himself from Event Entertainment as our DJ for our July wedding in Pasadena, MD. From the very beginning of our communication, Dave was extremely helpful and eager to please. We met with him a few weeks prior to the wedding to go over song selections and ceremony/reception details. He wanted to make sure he could pronounce everyone's name correctly, which was important to us! After our meeting, I emailed him a few more times about songs we had forgotten, and Dave got back to me right away. The ceremony and wedding music was perfect and exactly what we asked for! Tons of family members and friends commented on what a great DJ we had. We would highly recommend Dave from Event Entertainment for your wedding!

Dave Holmes was our DJ for our wedding and we could not have picked a better DJ to have at our wedding. Not only was everybody dancing the entire night but it was the first and only wedding I have been a part of where at the end of the night the guests actually were chanting "one more song!" Dave was prompt on all email and phone responses and made the entire process extremely easy and enjoyable. When we met with Dave to discuss the music that we would like to have played, we told him the style of music we wanted and he was able to go ahead and play music we liked the entire night without us even picking out more than one or two specific songs we wanted to be played. We would HIGHLY recommend Dave and Event Entertainment to any and everyone who needs a DJ at their wedding!!!

Event Entertainment really did a fantastic job at our wedding! We had very little songs that we had on the must play list. Our only direction to Dave was to make sure that everyone was dancing and having a good time. Well from the moment he started playing, everyone (and I mean everyone) was dancing all night long! This proves that Dave truly is a professional! Without much direction he was able to play the PERFECT songs.

I also believe that Event Entertainment is very reasonably priced compared to other DJs! I would highly recommend Dave and Event Entertainment for an unforgettable wedding!

The reception was perfect as well...Dave did enough commentary and had my guests dancing the entire evening...my guests commented about how impressed they were with him. He also through in a conga line as a send off to our Mexican wedding..at first I was apprehensive, but it got everyone up and dancing...the pics are fantastic!

Dave was our DJ and he was great during the ceremony as far as reading the crowd and making sure me, my parents, and my guests were happy with the music being played. My only critique was that communication wasn't the best, but I"m sure I added to that difficulty as well. It was difficult to get a hold of Dave on the phone, and during our meeting, we forgot to discuss a number of things like whether or not we were saving our top tier of the cake, or an entrance song, and also toasts... so I forgot to tell my MoH and Bm and Father about when they were toasting.... SURPRISE! It all went over well. Overall though, I had a blast and I wouldn't change a thing!

I had Dave Holmes as the DJ for my wedding and he was great. I talked with him a few days before the wedding to go over pronunciations of names and make sure he knew everything I wanted. I gave him the timeline for the events and he made sure everything was on schedule. We all had a great time dancing and the music was good. He even gave us a CD of all the songs he played at the end of the night and made a short video of the highlights of the evening. At the end of the night he told us that he was really sick but no one had any clue. He is a very good DJ and one I would recommend. We already have him booked for my sister's wedding in October.

It was like being at a wedding and a party at the same time. Would definitely recommend Dave and Event Entertainment to anyone that asked.

We had a fabulous time at our wedding! We have been to MANY other weddings prior to ours and had noticed that the DJ really does make or break the event. With a good DJ the bride and groom can relax and have a great time instead of constantly telling the DJ what to play or which event to begin. Dave did a fabulous job at keeping things moving and making them fun. So many of our friends that are about to get married have asked what company we used.

David Holmes from Event Entertainment was fantastic! Music is very important to my husband, and he had several ideas about what he wanted and didn't want. Dave was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to incorporate all of our requests. He took the time to understand our likes and dislikes, and he was great at reading the crowd and selecting the right songs to keep the party going. He had no trouble shifting gears between ceremony, cocktail/dinner and the dance portions of the evening. He was friendly and helpful at every turn. I would work with him again.

Dave Homes was our DJ and he did an incredible job! Many of my guests came to me to tell me how good the music was. It was an eclectic mix that most everyone could sing and dance to. He even had songs that older folks enjoyed. He kept a good pace for the reception and played all of the songs we requested. Honestly, this was something we did not even have to worry about because he just knew what to play to get people up and dancing.

I cant wait to see the pictures. Also, many thanks for the Italian CD you presented us with as we were leaving the reception.  We listened, laughed at some of the selections (German Italiane???), but overall, LOVED it.  Its become our favorite CDand it is played still over and over again.  Thank you so much. I believe I was sent a survey or request for follow-up shortly after the wedding, but I cannot find it.  I would be happy to provide a more formal response and reference re: your excellent services.  Paul and I are happy to be references for you at any time.

(especially during such a stressful time as planning a wedding).  At the wedding, Dave was GREAT!  He played awesome music and we danced ALL night long!  He was professional and courteous and I would DEFINITELY recommend Dave to anyone who needed a DJ.  Great great job - and even better - made it one less thing that we needed to worry about on our wedding day.... and who wouldn't want to worry less?

I just wanted to take a minute to belatedly thank you for the wonderful job you did for Stacey and Mike's wedding reception on Saturday night.  Everyone had a great time and certainly just wanted the evening to go on and on.  I was especially impressed with the professionalism of your entire organization - from the initial inquiry to the actual event.  You certainly took a lot of worry off of us by coordinating the whole evening's events - from the introduction of the wedding party to the "Last Dance."  Thanks again for putting on such a great "show," and for making this part of the special event so effortless.

To quote my mom "you were awesome!" EVERYONE at my wedding thought you were great. The fact that you got my brother to don the chicken costume was amazing and hysterical. The props you provided for the YMCA & conga line made for some of the best (and funniest) pictures from the reception. You were simply OUTSTANDING! You played every special song I requested and I liked how you introduced those songs.

Dave, Only you could have made this party the "Hit" it was in spite of the weather. Everyone complimented on our choice of DJ. Thanx again for a super job. It wouldn't have been the same without you. - Tim & Nancy Potter - July 3, 1999 - Elkridge Furnace Inn

I am and have been pleased each time your services were provided at a family event. I was especially pleased that your energy and sense of fun made my reception "extra special". I appreciate the fact that you energize the crowd to have fun while still maintaining a professional attitude. Thanks again for your extra help. - Danita & Steve Perna - September 16, 1999 - Kurtz Beach

Robin & Scott Ward - March 25, 1998 - Michaels 8th Ave

 

Dear Dave, Thank you so much for helping to make Tom and Grace's wedding celebration a complete success. All of us especially liked the way you worked the room. This is the second time we've seen you in action and you are just great! We will certainly recommend you to anyone who is interested in a rockin' good time. February 28th 1998 will always stay in our hearts and minds as one of the greatest evenings of all times. As a matter of fact, one of our friends asked if we could marry off another one of our sons so we could throw another party! And a large part of it is due to The Hitman. Please accept our sincere thanks and appreciation for a truly wonderful evening. Respectfully and most sincerely
