Empire Entertainment

Knoxville, TN
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,499

With 7 years of DJing experience I try to bring a happy medium of the classics and modern hits. Being a smaller operation we can focus on providing the most personal and detailed experience as possible. We try to have you as involved as you would like. Being more as a team then a vendor.

Empire Entertainment was definitely one of our best vendors to work with! Their communication style was quick, efficient, and relaxed. The quality of their work and value was amazing, thorough, and comprehensive. Dan from their team was all over it on our wedding day. Our timeline got a bit skewed due to a catering mishap, but Dan took control of the cocktail hour and kept things flowing seamlessly for us. He was also just very aware of what was going on and helped ensure our day went off without a hitch. We are so appreciative of the great team at Empire Entertainment and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding!

Ansar was the PERFECT dj for our wedding! He was professional, extremely flexible, accommodating to our (sometimes strange) requests, and was totally willing to improvise on the fly when we admittedly did not give him enough information about our venue. He kept the tunes popping late into the night, and the dance floor was never empty! (Outdoor wedding, late May, Asheville,NC )

Awarded Best of Zola
Sean from North Georgia Weddings and Events was great to work with for our wedding! I had already booked a DJ, but was specifically looking for a company that would be able to provide cold spark machines for our first dance and our grand exit. I said I wanted as many as he could provide for both of those moments and he was able to use eight total machines (four on each side). The layout of them was perfect and made for some fantastic photos and videos. Sean also asked what the first dance song was ahead of time so he would know the piece of music and could then time the start of the cold spark machines with the first chorus of the song for a more dramatic effect. The crowd was shocked and amazed when they went off during our first dance and the timing was perfect! Sean was able to make the vision I dreamed about come to life and I could not be happier with how it was executed! He was easy to get in touch with and very communicative leading up to the event and the day of the event to make sure the timing for everything would work out. I would highly recommend Sean and North Georgia Weddings and Events to elevate the look of your event!!

Exemplar Sound provided excellent DJing. They provided, set up, and broke down all necessary sound and lighting equipment so that we did not have to worry about it at all. Our DJ for the wedding was Christian. He did a great job playing all of our ceremony, cocktail/dinner hour, and itinerary music just as we requested. He was very responsive and flexible, playing many of our requested dance songs while adding his own suggestions to the mix to help get and keep guests on the dance floor at our small-medium wedding (70 guests). He even came out onto the dance floor at one point to dance with and pump up the crowd! We definitely recommend this DJ service!
