Reviews for Burning Spear Entertainment
GUEST




Gerry and Jon were excellent. They had the whole place dancing, and really added alot to our special day. It was exactly what we were looking for, and then some. They really went out of their way to make sure everyone at the reception had a great time.
GUEST




Gerry did an amazing job. He was on time and played all the music we requested. His presentation was great, he made all the announcements correctly, and his mixes were right on. We highly recommend him!
GUEST




Gerry and his staff could not have been more perfect for our wedding.
He was the dj at my sisters wedding last summer and I had to have him.
Everything from lighting, music, professionalism and photos were above and beyond perfection!!
I would reccommend Burning Spear to anyone looking for a dj. Our day was special because of all the wonderful people involved. Thank you...
GUEST




Thank you Gerry & Larry! The lighting was amazing, the music fantastic, and you were both so wonderfully nice! Being able to set everything up online made the planning process so smooth! Thanks again for making everything so memorable!

We had Travis and Larry as our DJs and they were awesome!! They played most of the guests requests. The only downfall was they didn't play a lot of the songs we requested, but that is fine because they kept everyone on the dance floor! Thanks again to Gerry (owner) for working with me and my "issues". haha :)
GUEST




I would definitely recommend Burning Spear Entertainment! Leading up to our wedding, I loved the online planner that helped me to get all of our plans, song choices, and information organized. It really made the process so much easier and more convenient.
The gentlemen were very nice and professional at our wedding. They even brought lighting in our wedding colors that illuminated the walls and coordinated perfectly with our decorations. It really added a nice touch to our venue and made the whole space just look fantastic!
I've never been to a wedding where they had games before, but it really added a personalized element and all of the guests really seemed to get into it and enjoy it. It got everyone involved and was just a lot fun. Between the games and our song choices, it really kept the entire celebration going and made it unforgettable :)
And finally, the guys took pictures during our ceremony and reception and captured some really great shots that we otherwise may not have gotten and they were available to us on Facebook so we could have them and share them with our friends and family. Very much appreciated!!
GUEST




They are wonderful DJs and I would recommend their services to anyone!
GUEST

GUEST




If you need a DJ in the MD/PA area this is the company to turn to. They provided one of the best events ever. I still have fmaily and freinds talking about how prodessional and great Burning Spear's Entertainment was. Ask for Garry he will make sure your wedding or event is done right!!!
GUEST




Gerry was great. Everyone had a good time and the games were fun. Highly recommended.

GUEST




Gerry was an amazing DJ. He is very friendly. The music was inviting and kept all the guest entertained. He is very involved in all aspects of the wedding and had some very fun games and ideas to incorporate. He is great at capturing the unplanned " special" moments on camera as well. The service was great and reasonably priced. We had our ceremony and reception done and we could have not have been happier:) We def. would reccommend Gerry with Burning Spears Entertainment. All in ALL my Husband and I loved our service and Gerry too :)

Patrick was an absolute pleasure to work with and I'm so glad he was there at my reception. He was friendly, courteous and an overall great person. I have no complaints at all. Both my husband and all the guests thought he was terrific! We made a great choice...!
GUEST




The myth is oh so true - the DJ entertainment can make or break your wedding. Gerry and his staff made the night unforgettable. The night flowed marvelously with the guidance of Gerry. Our guests were on the dance floor the ENTIRE evening and that was the best part of having Burning Spear host as our wedding entertainment. They went with the reaction to the music on the dance floor and kept the music pumping. The response from our guests was the DJ was and is fabulous. Unfortunately the celebration did have to end much to all of our dismay. Thank you Burning Spear Entertainment for a memorable event!
GUEST




Gerry Spears did the best job. He had everyone dancing all night and he helped make it the best night of our lives! Lighting was great, music was great, Gerry was great. Thank you so much! Will definitly recommend to anyone looking for a DJ. Oh i cant forget, he took some great pictures of us at all the right times. Two thumbs up
GUEST




Gerry was great! Very nice, flexible, worked well with the band, made sure he got everybody's name right, threw in a few (good) surprise games. Great job!
Vendor response to review
The band was great to work with and a totally new experience for us, thanks for sharing your special day with us :)
GUEST




Everything sounded amazing and the amount of lights provided was perfect and really enhanced the dancing. The DJ was very nice and helped plan out the day, and once it came down to it, he reminded us what we needed to do. Wonderful job!
GUEST




We really enjoyed Gerry! Our guest loved Gerry. We will recommend Burning Spears Entertainment to everyone!
GUEST




Burning Spear Entertainment did a fabulous job at our wedding... they reacted to what the guests were dancing too, and played a great variety of music... I would absolutely recommend them!!! Thank you!
GUEST




Craig DJ'd our wedding and he was phenominal!
I was hestitant to agree to his 'games' but I'm glad I did, he really made the reception the party that it truly was! He did a great job from start to finish and even showed concern when not enough people were 'getting into the music'.
The experience with Burning Spear was exactly what we wanted and he brought more to our wedding that we could have asked for or expected.
Very pleased with Craig at Jenn and Bryson's wedding. Great service from start to finish.
GUEST




I could not have ask for more from Burning Spear Entertainment DJ Services. Gerry made our day better than we could have imagined! He surprised us with games that were so much fun and continuous music that we and our guests enjoyed. He also took pics of our event and posted them for us to see. A complete package! Thanks again Gerry!

I wound up with this vendor by accident. I was originally booked with Starshot Entertainment, which was sold during my contract to Burning Spear Entertainment. Boy was I pleasantly surprised and pleased! Gerry and his son both did my wedding and their ability to entertain the guests was second to none. At 28 I've been to many weddings and I have never been this entertained. From a bride's perspective, Gerry was wonderful. He kept everything moving smoothly with very minimal instruction from me. I recommend Burning Spear Entertainment for your special occasion!
GUEST




Burning Spear entertainment was the best DJ I could have asked for! Gerry kept my guests partying all night long and having a fantastic time! He is wonderful with the surprise "games" he does during the reception! I have never been to a wedding that the DJ was so personable, friendly, reliable, and just overall as fantastic as Gerry and Burning Spear Entertainment were for my wedding!!! I would recommend Burning Spear entertainment to anyone who is looking for a terrific DJ!!! Cant wait to use them again for upcoming events and parties!!
Vendor response to review
I will forever remember the boys in the power wheel and the looks on peoples faces who thought the Dj had totally flipped his lid when I started playing born to be wild until they saw them come rolling down the isle what an awesome idea :)
GUEST




Burning Spear Entertainment made our wedding reception wonderful! They had the dance floor going at all the right times and the music was great. The lights they had shining on the walls pulled together the entire room and everything commented on how beautiful that was!
Burning Spear was a great choice for us and we highly recommend them!
GUEST




Awesome games and the music quality was amazing!! we are so happy we chose burning spear to DJ our wedding!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! they truly do "make memories that last long after the music stops"!!!
GUEST




Burning Spear Entertainment was the best decision I could have made for my husband and my wedding. They made sure everything that night went smoothly. They kept everything fun and entertaining. Not only did they provide the service they were paid to do, DJ, but they also provided photography at the reception.
Vendor response to review
one of the first clients I ever went out with after a wedding. I was tired as could be but had a blast bowling until 2am and my wife enjoyed every bit of it as well and we hope to see you at our cookout :)
GUEST




Burning Spear provided the best price, professionalism and service from all of the other DJ's we looked into having. The lighting they offered, made our special day almost magical, it was gorgeous! The special games that they played incorporated everyone at the reception. I had many guests tell me they haven't had that much fun at a wedding in a long time. I highly recommend Burning Spear to anyone looking for the best DJ out there!!!
GUEST




Our DJ was the best! He honored every request that was made in a timely fashion. This was a 2nd wedding for my husband and myself so we did not have the traditional dances or things like the garter toss. Our DJ- CJ adapted beautifully and kept our reception going!
GUEST




Gerry was an excellent DJ. He had a great personality and really "got" the kind of music we were going for. The "shoe game" was hilarious for us and our guests.
The online planning form was simple to use and was really convenient. The only thing I would have changed is I wish that we would have had the chance to speak with him a bit more prior to the wedding, just to go over the details again. However, everything went very smoothly. He is a good judge of the way things should flow - even when we weren't really certain. He even correctly interpreted my "please, save-my-father-and-me-and-fade-the-song-out-early" signal during the father-daughter dance (Dad and I are shy).
We purchased the uplighting package and it was well worth it. It really made the space look fantastic and set the mood perfectly- it made the day all that much more special. So happy we went with Burning Spear- highly recommend.
Vendor response to review
wow thank you :)
GUEST




Great lighting.. made the whole room look so great!!! Music was amazing, everyone danced all night, exactly what I wanted. Shoe game was great!
GUEST




Our DJ gave us a great experience and was very easy to talk to about what we needed. He was all we could have asked for on our wedding day.
GUEST




I would recommend Burning Spear Entertainment for any function. They did a fantastic performance (I can't say it was a 'job' because they truly enjoyed what they were doing and made the entire night a blast.) at my son and daughter-in-law's wedding in January 2011. Many guests of all ages danced the entire time they played. Burning Spear Entertainment did different 'games' than what the traditional wedding DJs often play, although we had some fun with a few traditional ones as well, but it felt more like a true celebration of their marriage rather than a 'wedding reception.' Many guests, after the wedding, asked my son and daughter-in-law if they could get married once a month! I highly recommend Burning Spear Entertainment for your upcoming events!
GUEST




Burning Spear Entertainment did a wonderful job with our wedding. Besides great music and lighting, Gerry took photos for us after the photographer had already gone. The music was great and he had people on the dance floor all night long!

Larry did a wonderful job. Kept everything running on time and our guests really had a great time partying! We've heard from our guests that that was the best dancing at a wedding they've ever been to. This meant a lot to my groom and I as we love to dance and have a great time.
I'll be recommending Burning Spear to my engaged friends!
GUEST




My sister and her husband were married on May 1st, their Dj service was AMAZING... They were ready togo when the bridal party got there and very quick to play songs that we asked. They also played intereactive games with the bride and groom, and kept the attention of the crowd. They never played anything that wasn't welcome or that was off color or disrespecting. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICES!!!
GUEST




Gerry was great.. made it an easy and fun experience! a real pleasure to work with.
GUEST




Gerry was full of fun surprises during our reception. He did interactive things that I've never heard of and we all had a great time! He even took some awesome pictures!
GUEST




Gerry made our reception a GREAT one due to his DJ services and lighting. Almost EVERYONE was dancing! He did some great games and totally got the crowed involved. We had such a blast with Gerry and would recommend him to anybody!
GUEST




Johnny was the DJ for our wedding, and was amazing. Did a great job, made sure to get everyone out on the dance floor if things started to slow down. Had a lot of fun.
GUEST




Our DJ for the event was Chris. He was the best DJ I've ever been acquainted with. He played everyone's requests and made the party jump till the last beat. The gobo, which we wanted, was not provided, but it was not his fault.
GUEST




Burning Spear were really friendly and their lighting setup was awesome. Also their online request system was very easy to use and helped organize everything.
Pros: Awesome value, sweet lights, good sound, cool online planner to coordinate the entire night, quick to respond
Cons: Didn't play all the requested songs, mic was hard to understand, didn't interact with crowd
All things considered, if you are specific about what you want, this DJ is a great deal.
GUEST




Gerry was really a great guy. We had a great time and all of our guests said it was the best wedding they had been to. We spent a lot of time making a music list, and were kind of disappointed when most of the songs weren't played. But the songs that were played got a GREAT reaction. The shoe game was so much fun. I would recommend Gerry, especially upgrade to do uplighting! The lighting MADE the room!
GUEST




I wish I could give a better review, because I had high hopes for them. Unfortunately, the communication the week before my wedding...didn't happen. I had to call the owner TWICE to get my DJ to contact me to finalize all of the information. I was told by the owner that I would have a different DJ then who showed up to my wedding. And he showed up an hour late, almost missing my ceremony. He asked me questions all night about which songs he should play. I couldn't believe how many times he asked me.
Vendor response to review
As the owner of Burning Spear Entertainment I find this review very disheartening. This totally goes against the high level of quality of service that I have prided myself in giving since starting my company in 1991. Just so you know I have personally addressed all the issues you mentioned directly with the DJ who was involved, and I sincerely apologize for the lack of communication that seems to have caused many of the issues you stated above.
I was very impressed with the entire night.
Thank you so much for your fantastic performance. My guests had a great time. We enjoyed the extra "surprises" you incorporated into the evening. The shoe thing is really funny
You did a wonderful job! I highly recommend you to anyone looking for a dj!
Burning Spear Entertainment was absolutely incredible! Gerry and his team was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Burning Spear Entertainment for any event!
He did a wonderful job! he was very friendly, kept the music going without a hitch. did some special anouncing for us! Couldn't have asked for a better DJ! Thank you!
If i'm ever in need of a DJ service again, Your company will be first on the list!
I could not have been more impressed with the professionalism, lighting and overall fun of the DJ, we were having such a good time that we pooled our money together to pay for an extra hour. The online event planning was so helpful in streamlining our wedding planning that i did not worry once about the DJ. I would recommend Burning Spear entertainment to any of my friends to have at their wedding.
There isn't anything that I would change with the DJ services. Our wedding was so much fun thanks to the services you provided. It was exactly what we wanted!
Additional comments or suggestions? I think the DJ went above and beyond to make our wedding night perfect. He kept the party going and made sure everyone was having a good time! I will definitely recommend them to my friends for their special events!
Very pleased with entire experience, from initial contact via phone to planning the play list online to the flawless execution of our wedding entertainment, was very accommodating in providing ceremony music as well--great reception games, good interaction w/guests, good mix of songs, great time--thanks so much!
Very pleased with the service. Made for a very fun and upbeat wedding. Could tell that he understood the feel we were going for with our wedding and went with it. Could not have asked for more!
Burning Spear was terrific. The songs that we wanted to be played got played, and all of our guests were happy!
Friendly with Fantastic Rapport; Burning Spear Entertainment does an amazing job of staging and utilizing equipment. Great to work with, and Legends Catering hopes to work with Burning Spear Entertainment in the near future!
Gerry is a great dj - high energy, smooth transitions and creative ideas to keep the crowd interested!

Burning Spear entertainment not only provides fantastic music but breathtaking lighting that sets off any reception location!
