For years, we have been the trend-setters in our industry delivering our clients fresh innovations, decor, and business practices. We can't wait to show you how we differ from others in our space.

We do not use or recommend one-size-fits-all packages. Your next step is to set up a virtual consultation to tell us your vibe and vision and learn more to see if we fit in your plan. Then, register for a virtual open house to see our DJs perform for you in the comfort of your living room. Now THAT's how wedding entertainment should be evaluated!

Encore Events

Gosh.. where do I even start. I just had the absolute pleasure of working with the BEST DJ business I could’ve EVER asked for: Encore Events, using them at my wedding! From day #1: emailing them, doing the virtual open house to see the each DJ work their magic, emailing them who I wanted as my DJ, to the online “portfolio”, phone calls checking in, zoom meetings, all the way to the actual wedding day.. has just been an incredible journey & made my wedding day one to remember! Not only is that just SOME of the things I wanted to highlight.. but throughout my wedding they were making sure my husband and I had food, drinks, pulled it out chairs for us to sit, kept checking in making sure everything’s good, or if we needed anything etc. they absolutely excelled my expectations, and I can’t say enough about how phenomenal they did. Now I want to highlight who I used.. I wanted to mention Encore as a whole as they have 10+ DJ’s and are an amazing business; but HUGE shout out to Rich Cranston and Andre Powell, you guys killed it and I couldn’t stop saying how much I’ve appreciated you both and everything you’ve done for us, thank you so much and so honored to have you both at our wedding! My venue didn’t hesitate..right from the very start they said “hands down going to be on our recommendations list”. Every single person at the wedding noticed how flawless, organized, personable, caring, fun and professional Encore was.. hands down my favorite vendor, and will 100% be recommending to everyone. Thank you for being you, and making my wedding day come true! 🤍

Blessed with the Best!

Choosing to hire Encore to be a part of our wedding day was the best decision. Encore was a vendor I never once worried about. From the very beginning, their communication was timely and they were invested. Rich took a lot of time in our first meeting to learn about us and our vision. We then loved the opportunity to select our DJ by attending a zoom that allowed you to listen to all of their djs and their style. We found this to be an added perk. From there, we decided to hire Mickey and thank goodness we did! Not only is he phenomenal at his job of being a DJ with smooth transitions and keeping the dance floor alive, but he is a genuine person who checked in on us multiple times throughout our planning process as well as our wedding day. We received so many compliments of about our DJ and feel grateful that we had the experience we did. We also chose to use the sparkler fountains, which we loved. We also had a Photo Booth through encore and found Jordan to be wonderful to work with as she helped us choose what package would work best for us. The Photo Booth was a highlight of the night for many and having these memories forever is something I will cherish. I will hands down be recommending encore and referring anyone looking for a DJ. We were truly blessed with the best!

John and his crew at Encore are beyond talented, knowledgeable, and professional in every aspect of the event business. No detail is ever overlooked when we arrive on scene to see that Encore is at the event. I'm always at ease when John is involved with the events that we do.
