Beautiful touch!

Absolute joys to work with! I loved Charleston Entertainment - they added the perfect touch to our day. They accommodated our special requests for our entrance songs and were so communicative throughout the process. I'm so happy we were able to work with them, and I highly recommend securing them if you're lucky enough to have the chance to work with them!

Best Wedding Jams!

Absolutely wonderful!! We had a string trio and DJ Jon Fiest for our wedding on 12/02/23 and we can not begin to say enough wonderful things about them. We received an abundance of compliments from both guests and other vendors on the quality of music and entertainment. They accepted special requests for a ceremony song that meant a lot to my husband and I and Jon kept guests having an amazing time on the dance floor! Book them!! You will not regret it!

Perfect Choice for Ceremony Music!

Andrew and Jenny were the perfect choice for our outdoor wedding in Charleston. They were very easy to work with, performed beautifully on the day, and added that extra layer of emotion to our celebration. Couldn’t recommend them more!
