About Exceptional Entertainment

Exceptional Entertainment

Owner, Lead DJ

Founded in 2019 by our owner, Joe Nagan, Exceptional Entertainment is quickly becoming a well-known name in the entertainment industry. Joe has a strong passion for music having attended UW-Oshkosh for Music Engineering and traveling the world performing since a young age with various chorale groups. Booking Exceptional Entertainment is much more than just hiring a person to play some music. Our fantastic DJs are there to help you every step of the way. We provide so much more than just music and lighting, we provide an experience for you and your guests to enjoy and remember.

I have personally been a professional DJ for 14 years and have helped hundreds of couples bring their wedding vision to life. I believe in quality equipment, but more importantly knowledgable DJs that know how to properly use it. Your entertainment can make or break your wedding which is why I believe in constant education to deliver the best possible service to all our clients. You deserve more than just a man behind a computer, fancy lights, and loud music. I want to personally thank you for visiting our site and hope that Exceptional Entertainment can help you with any of your DJ needs.

We are so happy we chose Joe as our DJ! He has lots of meetings to talk through everything so you don’t have to worry about it on the day of! We had so many compliments on how amazing our DJ was and the Photo Booth was a hit. We loved how Joe could read the dance floor and the type of music the people liked and continued to play that music. People were complaining about their feet hurting for days because they were on the dance floor all night because the music was too good. Joe also used to work at our venue so he was very knowledgeable about the schedule as well as the space and other vendors which made it less stressful

We used Exceptional Entertainment for our wedding and highly recommend! Joe made everything seamless the entire day including the ceremony, cocktail hour/dinner & speeches, and the dance floor. Joe was super easy to work with throughout the planning process and day of. He communicated with our other vendors as well, which helped make sure everyone was on the same page. He even helped find a solution to move our dance floor to a different part of our venue to make the overall flow of the venue work better! We also were very impressed with the photo booth and lighting that Joe and team did for us!

Jo Joe at Exceptional Entertainment was the best decision we made for our wedding. We heard about Joe because he was the dj at our friends wedding. He pretty much helped us plan our wedding by making and going through a timeline with us and making sure the day of was on schedule. Joe also spent a few hour long video calls with us to make sure no stone was left unturned. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and Joe was vibing and smiling from start to finish. We had so many people say he was the best dj they have seen at a wedding. Book him!

From the beginning process of wedding planning, through our ceremony, to the best part (THE PARTY) Joe absolutely nailed it. If you’re looking for a DJ that does so much more than play music, look no further. After our first couple meetings with Joe we felt much more at ease, there’s so much to think about when you’re planning a wedding and he kept us right on track every step of the way. As far as our reception his set up and equipment is stunning!! He kept a constant flow of people out on the dance floor - even my 85 year old GG was out shaking her groove thang! We can’t thank you enough for all the time and work you put into making our wedding day total perfection. -The Egels

All of the DJs who work for Exceptional Entertainment have a minimum of 10 years of professional DJ experience.

We only use state-of-the art professional equipment that minimizes wires and doesn’t look bulky.

We always retain one DJ per weekend as a backup in the event of an emergency.

Our DJs do take requests and may play some of them. Our DJs “filter” requests, meaning they will not play a song that you specifically asked the DJ not to play or music from a genre you asked the DJ not to play. If someone makes a request that fits in well with what the DJ is playing at the time and with the music the client wants, then the DJ may play the request.

Sure, but we would like to get the music file(s) in advance of the event. If doing this please consider the audience attending your event.

A 40% deposit is required at the time of booking and the remaining balance is due 14 days prior to the event date. Payments can be made through our online planning system using a debit or credit card or PayPal account.

Clients may cancel up to 60 days prior to the event start date without being liable for the remaining balance.

We do not include gratuity in the final contract price. 10 – 20% is generally recommended if your DJ did a great job, but it is entirely up to you.

This is not required in our contract and is completely up to you. Typically, the catering director or event coordinator will set aside a meal or boxed dinner for the DJ if requested by the client.

We offer DJ services for wedding ceremonies and receptions, corporate events, private parties, and school functions. We offer lighting options (uplighting and dance floor lighting) and have photo booths available. We also offer karaoke services!

You can select songs that you would like to hear at your event (as well as songs you don’t want to hear) through our online planning system. We recommend giving your DJ at least 10-15 songs of different genres and artists that you would like to hear. During your initial consultation, your DJ will ask about your music preferences.

Our DJs arrive 3 to 4 hours prior to the contracted start time to set up and contact vendors for any last minute changes. We can arrive earlier if requested by the client for an additional fee. We do not like to set up while your guests are present.
