Awarded Best of Zola
Jenna the dj kept the party hopping all night! She literally was so great in ensuring the guests were kept in the loop the entire night. The couple loved x files and she was made aware and went out of her way to play the x files theme song as a surprise for them. Also, there was an inside joke with a cardboard cutout of Danny Devito. When they did a couples dance she even joked about how if someone didn’t have a partner they could dance with Danny. She was very personable and even helped clear plates in her free time. In addition, there was an issue where the hired officiant didn’t show up on time. I called Live Events as a back up and the owner Dennis told me he was an hour and a half away at another wedding but would come immediately. He rushed to our aid even when I told him the other officiant finally showed up. He showed up ready to help in any way he could. This company is top notch in all they do. Professional, polite, friendly, fun and ready to exceed your expectations. The only mistake you could make on your wedding day would be not hiring them.

I cannot say enough good things about Brock Entertainment! They were brought in to DJ our wedding. Not only did our DJ go above and beyond, but he was kind, attentive to detail, punctual, and kept the party going for an extra hour past when we had him booked. Announcements were made with excitement in his tone, truly attracting guests to the dance floor and persuading them to listen to what would be happening next. The music was FIRE!! All of our requested songs were played at their appropriate times both during the ceremony and during the reception for first dances. Our DJ was down for ANYTHING!! Including helping me (the bride) make an announcement inviting all guests to jump in the pool towards the end of the night. Music was kid and adult-friendly ranging from 70s and 80s classics (which we LOVED) to more modern tunes ranging from the 90s to today's top hits! This ensured that people of all ages had fun on and off the dance floor. The energy our DJ maintained throughout the night was electric and contagious!! We loved every second of our wedding (it was the best day of our lives!!) and a HUGE part of that was because of Brock Entertainment! If you are a bride (or anyone for that matter) who is looking for a DJ, look no further! Book Brock Entertainment today!!!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.
