“In today's world everything is extremely overpriced and service is terrible. My wedding was very stressful for me because of this. I did not have a DJ or a Photographer and honestly was considering just something small scale, until I talked to Ed from DJ Double E. I would give them 10 stars out 5. From the minute I talked to Ed it was a breath of fresh air from the million other outrageously priced DJ's. The price is unbeatable but that's not why I would recommend them. They are absolutely phenomenal and made my entire wedding. The music was perfect from ceremony to the last dance. They were so professional, so involved and so fun. We had a daytime (early) wedding. It is so challenging to get people up and have a good time at 12:30 in the afternoon, I was having meltdowns about it, they reassured me but had the entire place up and having fun. You didn't know if it was day or night. They helped us more than the attendants at the venue. Over 100 guests said how amazing they were. The pictures they took could not be any better. Any other DJ who had packages like this (photo booth etc...) were THOUSANDS, yes THOUSANDS, more!!! I really hate to admit but I'm not easily pleased however I would put my name on the line for DJ Double E after how they made my wedding. DJ Double E exceeded all my and my husband's expectations and -consider yourself lucky if you hire them for any event. I'll be calling them again!!!”

“Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.”

We had a meeting with Mark a few weeks before the wedding and he was very organized. During the day of our wedding I missed a few things and Mark worked with us on being flexible and adding a few things in.

Their energy was contagious, and they knew exactly how to read the room, keeping everyone on the dance floor the whole time. The transitions between songs were seamless, and the variety in their set list kept all of our guests—young and old—dancing nonstop. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to set the perfect tone for our big day. Highly recommend Phase One to anyone looking to elevate their event with incredible live music! A special shout out to our Band leader Rich who made the process so easy!”

If a wedding had a heartbeat, it would be its soundtrack. A strong heartbeat equals a truly memorable wedding. A weak heartbeat? Well, we all know how that ends! E.C.F. Entertainment DJ's have amassed a stunning array of Industry Awards and Accolades. Without exception, brides have shared that choosing an E.C.F. Entertainment DJ was a game-changer for their special day.

“We worked with DJ Shyne (Jeff) for our wedding and I cannot emphasize enough what a great experience we had. This is not your average/cookie cutter DJ experience. DJ Shyne is a true professional and our wedding music was completely customized to our vibes and preferences. He was very responsive and communicative every step of the way, helped us make a timeline for the day, and made sure he understood our vision, all while bringing so much creativity and enthusiasm to the whole experience. We received so many compliments from our guests, they could not stop raving about how great the DJ was and couldn’t stay off the dance floor, and we also received great feedback from our venue coordinator about how responsive and professional DJ Shyne was. As the bride and groom, some of our best memories from our wedding day are dancing together and hearing all our favorite songs. We highly recommend DJ Shyne for your wedding or special event!”

I’m DJ Dayglow, a queer feminist DJ in Providence, RI. I play eclectic pop and disco at weddings, art events and parties at big fancy venues like the Museum of Fine Arts, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Institute for Contemporary Art, MassArt, and the Camden International Film Festival.

“If you want one of those weddings where everyone in attendance gets down on the dance floor, look no further. DJ Kara knows how to get the intergenerational dance party started. Such a delight to work with and so so talented! Make sure you kiss the disco ball for good luck. I hope my marriage lasts forever...but if it doesn't, I'm going with DJ Kara for my next wedding, too!”

“Robert was one of the BEST choices we made for our 2024 wedding! From our first phone call, we knew he was special and would help make our day amazing. His attention to detail, his go with the flow attitude, and comedic timing as an MC made our guests feel comfortable and kept them on the dance floor. We made several changes in the moment and Robert was able to execute perfectly. I can’t recommend the Toasted brew enough, I can say confidently that if I were to plan our wedding again, Robert would be my first call.”
