Rob was great! All guests loved him and thought he did a great job.....A DJ can make or break a wedding and he did a fantastic job.....My Wedding Coordinator thought he was great, took his card, and hopes to work with him again. There was music all evening and he took requests from guests. Julie and Royce picked Rob because of the great job he did at their best friend's wedding....would recommend him to anyone! Thanks Rob.....Debbie

We hired Rob as the DJ for our daughter's wedding. Of all of the vendors we used, he was by far the most professional and easiest to work with - and we have high standards! He also provided lighting and a photo booth for the event and everything was PERFECT. He asks all the right questions, takes over the stress of the event after finding out what you want and is extremely professional. Clearly he brings a great deal of experience and professionalism to the event. We would highly recommend him.
GUEST




This was our in town reception after a destination wedding and we just wanted a big party. Rob was great to work with and very professional. His use of the mic for introductions and announcements was smooth and clear, nothing worse than a DJ whose infatuation with their own voice leads to random unnecessary announcements. Our friends and family loved the photo booth especially the family from out of town. A++++ in my book.
GUEST




Thank You SOOOOOOOO MUCH! We worked with Jon who was our DJ at our reception this past weekend and he was amazing! Not only was the music perfect, his expertise to match songs with the mood and flow of the party was GREAT! Jon's talent was not limited to music alone, through out the evening Jon helped us have an easy stress-free experience by keeping a "party schedule" where we never had to worry about remembering when to do what activities. If that wasn't enough to sell you, the man even offered to bring us DRINKS!
Thank You Jon and thank you Encore Entertainment

These guys were absolutley amazing. They are extremely professional and make it so you will have NOTHING to worry about the day of your wedding. If you are looking into a DJ, you are making a serious mistake if you go with anyone else. Also, ask about a package deal with the photobooth - the guests loved it!
GUEST




I am so thankful that I chose Encore Entertainment. There are some places when planning a wedding that you can cut corners, a DJ is certainly not one of them. Rob is a true professional, he communicated with us throughout the entire evening and kept everything moving smoothly. He was fun and we all had a blast. He is flexible and pretty much just rolled with the punches while keeping everything straight. I definitely recommend Rob for all brides
GUEST




We booked Jeremy with Encore Entertainment for our reception sept 4 2011. He was professional, helped everything run very smooth, and read the crowd well. We got so many comments from guests about how great he was too. There was never a dull moment on the dance floor the entire evening! I highly recommend Jeremy and am so appreciative of his help in making our evening the best night ever!
GUEST




Music was a very important part of our wedding ceremony and reception from the beginning. Unfortunately a live band was out of the question because it would have blown our budget. So our expectations were considerably high when the time came to find the right DJ for our wedding ceremony and reception. Looking back now, we could have not been happier with picking Trent Iguchi and Encore Entertainment. Our DJ for the day was Jacob, and he did a fantastic job. We met with him beforehand, and he really listened to what we wanted. He showed up on time, brought top notch gear, and the music for both the ceremony and reception was perfectly chosen. If you are looking for a punctual, professional DJ that makes your wedding day unforgettable, Encore Entertainment is your company to contact!
GUEST




Rob was great, we needed a photo booth the day before our wedding and he came through to make it happened. Worth everything for it. Our guest loved it and were always in it. I got great reception photos from it. Thank you so much and I would suggest everyone to go with Encore!
GUEST




After meeting with a few DJs, we knew Rob and his team from Encore Entertainment were going to be the best! We chose Rob to DJ our wedding July 2, 2011 and he did an amazing job! Rob made us feel the most comfortable and was extremely professional in explaining himself and his company. He was quick to answer all of our questions throughout the whole process. He was open to all our ideas and songs we wanted played and helped us with suggestions for others as well. Everyone was on the dance floor the whole night and he was fun and upbeat (without being tacky) in his announcements and helped guide us through the night when it came time to first dances and cake cutting. We had the Photobooth (also provided by Encore Entertainment) and that was a HUGE hit. People were still talking about how much they loved it even weeks after the wedding! Rob and his team were well worth the money and made us feel comfortable leaving the reception "flow of events" in his hands. Thanks again Rob for everything!
GUEST




We had Jeremy as our DJ for our reception and he was amazing!
He really took the time to listen to what we wanted. We didn't want any of the traditional wedding dances and had some very specific tastes, he really came through with it all!
Jeremy listens to the crowd to keep them on the dance floor. We had comments from our reception place that they have never seen a dance floor stay so packed the whole night!
He kept our reception moving flawlessly, from being announced to first dance & cake cutting, he really keeps it flowing. We had many wedding guests say how great our DJ was, I highly recommond Jeremy and Encore Entertainment, you won't be disappointed!
GUEST




Super wonderful. We had Jeremy as our DJ and he was so great. Very experienced and professional. I didn't have to worry about a thing. In fact, I think he even helped coordinate the rest of the vendors for me and had suggestions about what worked best at our venue. I also gave him and extensive play list and he played every song. He had mics for our ceremony and backup mics if needed. We had quite the mixed crowd and he played music that got everyone on the dance floor.
GUEST




Rob was wonderful! He made our wedding reception awesome!! He's professional and just amazing! We were thrilled with his services, his deejaying abilities, and his ability to keep the party going in the right direction! He was recommended by a friend and he is definitely recommended by us.
GUEST




Rob was the DJ at my wedding in Dayton Oh. He was amazing! Rob and his assistants are extremely professional and pay great attention to detail. To me, the Master of Ceremonies is one of the most important vendors of the day. DJs control the flow and organization of the entire reception. We were in great hands with Rob. In addition, I have a very sentimental Dad who was very nervous about the Father of the Bride speech. Rob handled him beautifully; keeping him calm and giving him a great pep talk! Encore Entertainment is fantastic; they are worth every penny!
GUEST




Encore Entertainment (Jeremy) served as the DJ for our wedding. We had been warned that no matter what we prepared for the wedding, if the DJ didn’t perform well, the reception would suffer. Jeremy was great!!!! the dance floor was packed all night. We are so happy we choose Encore Entertainment and specifically Jeremy.
I’m sure this wasn’t the easiest venue to set up, our wedding and reception were both outdoors and it required him to set up for both events. He was prompt, professional and just an overall great guy. We would highly recommend Encore to anyone looking for a great service!
Please feel free to provide my contact information to any future clients that are looking for a reference. We would be more than happy to highly recommend Encore.
GUEST




The idea of hiring a DJ for our daughter's wedding was unnerving to say the least. Then we met Rob from Encore Entertainment. Rob's level of sophistication was exactly what we were looking for for our daughter's wedding and reception at the Dayton Art Institute. He was able to accommodate our every request including classical selections for the ceremony, jazz for the cocktail hour, and a perfect mix of crooners to top 40 for the reception. The transition for our guests to three different venues within the Dayton Art Institute was flawless under Rob's direction. His announcements were tasteful and his ability to take control and keep things moving allowed us to relax and enjoy every minute of this perfect evening. He is excellent in his profession and I would recommend him to anyone!
GUEST




Through a referral from a friend, we booked Encore as our DJ and were immediately eased of any concern we had during our first meeting with Jeremy. I've been in plenty of non-productive meetings with disorganized people in hectic situations like planning a wedding, however Jeremy set the tone immediately with his organization and detail... enough to make me feel slightly disorganized! The preparation / planning only took a few minutes and Jeremy's suggestions helped guide us through the schedule. We left the meeting in full confidence that Jeremy could do exactly as he promised.
Every wedding day has it's "bumps" and "detours" and we experienced a few on our day but the show goes on. With Jeremy, in fact the show did go on and enough so that nobody noticed the "bumps" or "detours". When your entire wedding party plows through the doors unannounced before their prompt, you get a little "uh-oh" in your head. Jeremy handled it perfectly and made it appear as if it was all planned and progressed through the introductions without missing a beat.
His song selection was right on key with the playlist we discussed in our prep meeting. The music flowed just as we wanted it to throughout the night and even snuck in a few surprises that made the whole experience that much more fun. We can't thank Encore enough for the experience and being a part of our day.
GUEST




Rob was wonderful. We didnt know what music to ask him to play and he read the crowd beautifully, the dance floor was always full. He was professional while still being fun and he was great to work with. I would highly recommend using him or his team at your wedding or event. He really helped make our night perfect.
GUEST




Jeremy was our DJ and he did such a great job on our reception. Encore price is expensive, but it's really worth the money. Jeremy made the reception went smoothly and it had a good flow. Music selection was awesome and it's not cheesy at all. He made sure that the names were pronounced correctly and he kept informing us on what's going on during the reception. Thank you so much for the fabulous job and it's been great working with you.
GUEST




Encore Entertainment did a wonderful job at making sure all of our guests were having a great time on the dance floor. The selection of music was suitable for all ages. The DJ did an amazing job with time management making my groom and I confident that the night would go on time as planned.
GUEST




After being an event coordinator for Cameron Mitchell Catering for 3 years, I had seen a lot of Dj's in the area. When I found out that I was getting married, Rob was the very first thing I booked because I knew he would set the tone for my entire wedding and that he was the best in the business. I got married on Kelleys Island and Rob agreed to come all the way up there to support my husband Jay and I on our special day. The night was amazing and Rob got people on the dance floor that I am sure have not danced in several years. People are still talking about it!! I would recommend Rob and the entire Encore team to anyone looking for a DJ. He is not cheesy but super professional and accommodating, thanks again Rob for making our night so wonderful!!
GUEST




David Jones was are dj he was awesome, got everyone young/old out on the dance floor
GUEST




We had a difficult time deciding which DJ to go with. Encore entertainment was more expensive then the other DJ's in the area, but in the end we are so happy we decided to spend the extra money to go with them. It was totally worth it!!! Jeremy was our DJ, and he did an awesome job. When it came down to making decisions on our wedding music, we were so "decisioned out". Rob and Jeremy made everything so easy for us by having great suggestions for all the music. We let Jeremy decided on the music for the entire reception, and he did a great job. People were dancing the whole night, and no one has stopped talking about how much fun they had at our wedding. My parents, and the venue complimented on how professional and friendly Jeremy was. Greg and I also appreciated how attentive he was to us the entire night. He made sure we were doing all right, and made sure we always knew what was going to happen next. Things ran so smoothly the entire night!! Thanks Jeremy for everything!! We really appreciated it!!! Suzie and Greg
GUEST




Dear Jeremy and Rob:
Chris and I were extremely pleased with Encore Entertainment! Jeremy did a fantastic job. All our guests were raving on how wonderful the music kept the party going. Our guests had an absolute blast and we are still getting comments on how it was one of the best wedding receptions ever. The dance floor was PACKED the entire evening and the music choices catered to everyone. Thank you for helping make this one of the best days ever for both of us.
Fondly,
Chris and Missy Lawson
GUEST




Rob provided us with great music at our cocktail hour and reception. He was very professional and very perceptive. He seemed to read the crowd well. We just got our wedding photos from our photographer, and it's evident that our guests had a fantastic time at the reception largely due to Rob. We are very happy that we chose Rob to be our DJ at our reception!
GUEST




Rob DJ'd at our wedding at the Franklin Park Conservatory on March 20th, 2010 and did an absolutely amazing job! He made everything go so smooth even before the event. He actually took time to meet with us and helped pick out our songs for the wedding ceremony and reception. This was a huge help since I had no idea which songs would work well and really needed suggestions. I could tell he knew exactly what he was doing and he was very professional. He was so nice to my parents and guests and worked well with all the other vendors. He had great communication with our wedding coordinator throughout the event. Everyone at the conservatory knew him well and had nothing but great things to say about him. I would definitely recommend him to anyone planning a wedding or any type of event. He is excellent!!!!
GUEST




All the 5 star reviews are ACCURATE and TRUTHFUL!!!!! Our experience with Rob and appreciation to him are genuine. He IS the best DJ in central Ohio!!! We are very fortunate to have found you Rob!!!!! God bless you and your beautiful family <3
GUEST




Encore Entertainment is the BEST in Columbus! Rob and his team did an incredible job at our wedding!!!! Our guests raved about how perfect every last music selection was... From cocktail hour to dinner to dancing, our music matched our tastes as well as our guests. Rob was wonderful at making sure we kept moving through our time line efficiently, yet still gave us enough time to do all of the little things a Bride and Groom get pulled into doing. He was flexible and accommodating. And the dancing portion of our night-WOW! He chose just the right music to get the party started and it never ended! Our guests danced until the very end. And every last one of them told us it was the most fun they had ever had at a wedding reception... This could not have been possible without Rob and his crew. We are forever grateful!
GUEST




We hired Encore to DJ our wedding reception at The Columbus Athenaeum. Dave did an excellent job making sure everything ran smoothly. We gave him very little direction as to what music to play during open dancing. He read the crowd and played the perfect mix to keep guests of all ages on the dance floor all night. We would not hesitate to recommend Dave to any one throwing a party!
GUEST




Our wedding reception was a hit!!! The was a special occasion that my husband and I took a lot of time planning. We wanted to make everything perfect. We are not "music" people, so we decided to leave most of this decision in the hands of Rob and Jeremy. This was one of the best decisions we made! Jeremy chose the perfect songs based on how the crowd was feeling. My dad even danced and I have never seen him dance on my 29 years of life! Jeremy was wonderful in helping us keep a timeline (as hard as it was for us!) and keepin the evening going with a great flow of music perfect for every setting. I have received many compliments and thank you's for the time my guest's spent at the reception. Jeremy helped make this the wedding of the year for our friends and family. (One of my guests words exactly!) I would recommend Encore to anyone, and plan on using them again in the future for any occasion/event we plan!
GUEST




Encore Entertainment is truly the best DJ company to work with in Columbus. From start to finish you will be blown away with the services, professionalism and ability to help you create your vision.
GUEST




Our DJ from Encore Entertainment was Rob McDowell. He did an absolutely amazing job. He was knowledgeable, professional and creative. He has a great personality which enables him to engage your guests to make sure everyone has a great time. He was very responsive when we asked him questions and had a lot of great ideas to make our event a success. He also helped run the entire event with our caterer, which left nothing for my fiancee and I to worry about. The whole night went so smoothly and I think we have him to thank for a lot of it. My now husband and I had a blast at the wedding and would recommend Rob to all of my friends and family.
GUEST




My husband and I were EXTREMELY pleased with how well our wedding reception turned out due to Encore Entertainment being our D.J.! People were dancing the whole time, and everyone had a blast! I had so many of our guests comment on how professional they were, and how great the music was. DJ Austin was phenomenal, very profession, extremely nice, and made everyone feel welcome! He did a great job of making our reception run smoothly and to guide it from beginning to end! Thank you so much Encore Entertainment!!! You are the best!
GUEST




My husband and I had the time of our life at our wedding thanks to Jeremy and had a great time planning it thanks to Rob! Everything was perfect and they were so easy to get a long with and make our day so special! The one thing I said was I wanted an amazing DJ and we got what we wanted out of Encore. My husband and I also got the photobooth for the reception and it was the hit of the party, people are still talking about it and getting to see all the pictures from the CD is priceless. I highly recommand Encore if you want a perfect wedding reception! THANKS ROB AND JEREMY! ERICA AND DYLAN COLLNER MAY 23, 2009
GUEST




I am the Father of the Bride and I just want to let people know how great Encore Entertainment, and Rob McDowell, were to work with at my daughters wedding. Although my daughter did all the planning, I wanted to mix up the Father-Daughter Dance a little, and Rob did a great job with that. Rob kept the Wedding activities right on schedule, with plenty of notice as to who and what was to happen next. And last but not least the music was perfect. Rob kept the dance floor full all night long, including all of my 50+ year old friends. If your having a wedding with a DJ, you won't go wrong with Encore entertainment!
GUEST




Rob was great to work with. He was very pleasant to deal with, was professional, and was flexible to our tastes. The music was perfect, and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. We received many compliments from our guests about how great the music was and how much fun they had. The evening couldn't have been any better for the both of us. Rob has this business down to a science. He did a great job for us, and should definitely receive top priority when searching for a DJ service for your occasion.
GUEST




Rob McDowell, owner of Encore Entertainment, was a recommendation to us by friends who had him as their DJ when he was just starting out his business. So, we were surprised to find out that Rob was now incredibly successful and had many clientele working for him (who he trains himself). Rob has been awarded the 2007 and 2008 The Knots best DJ award. We were told that Rob was the best, that he would make our wedding the best ever. Of course I had to find out for myself. When I called, he was fun, upbeat, confident, and so reassuring about his abilities that I never doubted how fun and successful my wedding would be. But his abilities surpassed even these expectations. I am a busy medical student attending Wright State Boonshoft School of Medicine and my time is limited, meaning I was mostly in contact with Rob through email. I didn't have time to pick out every song for the reception. This is the ultimate reason I hired Rob. Rob handled the planning of my reception with such professionalism that I never worried!! My new husband and I met with Rob the day before the wedding (when I was available in Columbus), ran through the details and my wedding was the most beautiful, fun wedding I have ever been to. My parents received calls throughout the next week (while I was on my honeymoon) from friends and family continually gushing about the success, the smoothness of the reception and the atmosphere Rob McDowell created that made it fun for every single person attending no matter how young or old.
Not only was Rob incredibly professional and a huge success, he took our wedding as seriously as if it was his own. Honestly, now that I can sit down and think about it, he made it seem as if our wedding was the only wedding he had all year. This personal service made it seem like he only needed our business. I never ran into conflicts when trying to contact him or talk to him or ask him questions. He was there on the phone within 10 minutes or an email reply within the hour. I love a prompt person and he prompt and personal. I couldnt have asked for a better person for the job.
My fiancé took a liking to Rob immediately. Obviously the guy isn't that excited all the time to go meet with vendors. But my fiancé made it a point to be at the DJ meetings every time. My husband (now..haha) hit it off with Rob and Rob treated us both like we were lifelong friends. What Im saying is, if you want a DJ that is so personal it seems like you are his only project (we all know he was incredibly busy), Rob should be your DJ. I cannot tell you how pleased we were with his service. Rob honestly has a talent that can't be matched by any other DJ I have seen at a wedding.
On top of that, Rob ran the entire reception. Meaning, he was the guy that said when to serve food, when we would do the dances, when the bouquet toss was, etc. He didnt run around the reception looking hurried, he calmly and discreetly would approach the appropriate parties and tell them when it was time to do what they needed to do. It took the load off our shoulders when trying to coordinate the reception. Since he was in charge of the entire reception, no one (not me, my husband, mom or dad) had to worry about a thing. Rob took care of it all. We didn't even have a wedding planner...that is how GREAT Rob is at what he does.
Encore Entertainment allows you to choose who you want to do your DJ-ing. We chose Rob and he also brought a wonderful guy that worked with him to help Rob out. He was also amazing. Anyone who get Rob or the guys working with him will be pleased and so happy. Of course I cant stop gushing, but it is because my husband and I honestly believe that our investment in this young man and company was the best we could do with our money, time, and trust. I hope each new bride gets the amazing experience like I had with Rob McDowell and Encore Entertainment. Honestly, hire this company, you wont have to worry about a thing and it will MAKE your wedding day unique and special!
Lastly, here is personal THANK YOU to Rob. You have touched our lives in an incredible way. We wouldn't have wanted any other DJ to run our reception on the most important day of our lives, our wedding day. We feel truly blessed to have had your professionalism, honestly, hard work, kindness, laughter, joking, sweat and tears on this project. I dont care what it would have cost; if I had known how wonderful you would have made our wedding day when I hired you, you could have asked for ANY amount and we would have paid it. Thank you so much Rob, I KNOW you will be the best DJ for anyone who asks it of you.
GUEST




Very Professional ! Made the night go very smoothly. NOT A CHEESY DJ AT ALL ! Would highly recommend them
Rob McDowell is fantastic !
GUEST




Having Rob from Encore as our DJ was absolutely the one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Before Rob I really didn't realize everything that a good DJ really does (DJ, MC, adviser, helping hand). Rob worked with my venue and caterers ensuring that my husband and I had the least amount of stress possible on our wedding day. Rob had such great suggestions for songs (everyone LOVED the music). During the evening Rob was very hands on, making sure things got done.
One of the best things about Rob is his final meeting discussion on weddings in general...I won't spoil the details, you'll have to hire him to find out what I'm talking about, but there were so many times during the night I just reminded myself of what Rob said.
There is not one thing I would change about my music or hiring Rob. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
GUEST




Rob did a fantastic job! Preplanning was a snap. He was the leader and took our worries away. We had some last minute changes that he accomodated wonderfully. Also we had extra entertainment brought in that he did a tremendous job managing during the event. His music choices were excellent and the guests danced the night away.
Rob knows his business and delivers!
GUEST




I seriously can not say enough good things about Rob and Encore Entertainment. He made our wedding day SO perfect. Not only is he a great DJ, but he runs the whole show! He was so attentive to our needs...he even specially went and got us some milk to have with our cake! He had great ideas about music to make my day even better...things I never even thought about.
Really. They are AMAZING. You will not be disappointed.
GUEST




Our DJ set the mood for the entire wedding reception. I am so happy we chose Encore. Rob was our DJ and he was fantastic to work with. He was extremely professional and listened to all of our suggestions. He played the songs we wanted and didn't play the songs we discussed. His setup is very simple and he does not advertise his company during the reception. He DJ's tons of weddings so he gave us lots of advice to make the best song selections for our reception. I am very happy we chose Rob with Encore Entertainment and I would recommend him for any wedding.
GUEST




We were extremely happy with our decision to have Rob from Encore as our DJ. More people were dancing for longer (until the very end - could have gone on longer) than I had ever imagined for our wedding, and people had so much fun. We received many compliments on our music and DJ. We worried somewhat about music while planning the wedding but we really did not need to worry at all! Rob did a great job reading the crowd and playing music that pleased everyone and got them to dance. Dinner music was great too.
GUEST




After getting engaged in April, my husband and I knew we didn't want a long engagement and decided to get married in August while the weather was still nice. Of course a little stressed, that all changed after our first meeting with Rob. He was so genuine, helpful, professional and before even leaving, we knew we had found our DJ! He communicated with us throughout the whole process and made us feel completely comfortable with our choice and that our wedding would be amazing. And amazing it was! Rob was absolutely great, from the wedding party introductions to the very last song. He kept the reception on track and running smoothly and was always there to grab us a drink or anything else we needed.
The thing we loved most though about Rob, on top of playing great songs and keeping all the guests dancing and happy, he gave us some "words of wisdom" for our reception and overall wedding day. He was absolutely right and we are grateful we had someone to give us that advice. The only thing we'd change would have been to have him stay an hour longer!
Any couple would be lucky to have Rob DJ their reception and be a part of their wedding day!!
GUEST




Professional, courteous and first-rate were the words that came to mind when I first met Rob. When you meet him I guarantee you will feel the same way. Rob is one of those people you feel comfortable around as soon as you meet him. Most important, he is trustworthy. He and his employees at Encore Entertainment are extremely qualified to make one of the most special days of your life exceed your expectations. Rob was almost single handedly responsible for making our wedding reception do just that it was perfect.
GUEST




On a day as important as your wedding you want to find people that you can trust, that will help you not stress or worry about anything, and who can get the job done right. Rob did that for us. He listened to our ideas had his own and was able to audibly create the atmosphere we wanted, and pump it up when it was time. Our reception was amazing and everyone had a great time. Thanks Rob!
GUEST




My wife's friend had used them for their wedding, and highly recommended Rob, and I know why. From the time I talked to Rob, I knew we had to go with Encore. Not only was he very professional, he was also very helpful in helping me figure out how the reception would be run (my wife didn't really care for the planning part of the wedding-amazing huh-so I had to figure out what was going on). Suffice it to say, Rob was great. Though we didn't have him DJ or wedding since he was unavailable, he had one of his colleagues, Eric, DJ or wedding. He did an amazing job! We had many of our customers tell us how great the DJs were.
I highly highly recommend.
GUEST




We absolutely LOVED working with Rob and Dave at Encore Entertainment. They more than exceeded our expectations and not only provided outstanding DJ services, but also helped us with the little details and offered excellent advice to make the most out of the time we had for our ceremony.
We enjoyed meeting with them ahead of time, even grabbing coffee with Dave 6 months ahead of our date, just to see if we would hit it off, and we did. I would recommend Encore to my friends and colleagues anytime. We hope to attend one of their events again soon as we and our guests had an unbelievable night and could not have done it without their advice and support.

GUEST




WOW! What a fantastic job Jeremy did as the DJ for my daughter's wedding! While I did not personally have any direct contact with Rob or Jeremy during the planning stages (the bride and groom took care of that), as the first time Mother-of-the-Bride who wanted everything to be perfect, I couldn't have been more pleased with the services that Encore Entertainment provided for music during the evening reception. Jeremy knew just when to mellow things out and when to turn up the beat! People of all ages and backgrounds commented on how much fun the evening was, and the dance floor was always filled, even up to the very last song! We had a GREAT time!!! Tnanks, Encore!
GUEST




Dave from Encore did such a good job at our reception. He kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long.
GUEST




Rob kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! He was extremely professional and fun to work with.
GUEST




We loved having Rob as our DJ and felt so fortunate to have him there. He ran everything, took charge, and made the night a success. He was always checking on us to see if we needed anything and incredibly thoughtful. He was part of our family for the night. We would recommend Rob or any DJ trained by Rob for any event.
GUEST




Encore provided us with 3 djs, one main one with two assistants. They made sure that the entire reception ran smoothly. I never had to worry about anything. They came up to my husband and I when it was time for an event, such as toasts, cake cutting, etc. And they kept people dancing for the entire night. They made the evening a lot of fun!
GUEST




Rob McDowell and Encore Entertainment gave us a reception that blew away all of our expectations. He was extremely professional, great job keeping the reception moving, and most importantly great choice of music to keep the dance floor packed all night long.
Highly recommend!!!
GUEST




Rob was awesome! He wasn’t cheesy at all like all the rest of the DJs that we met with. We had a hard time picking entrance songs, cake song, etc and Rob had plenty of suggestions. Rob was very organized and created an outline of the whole night that we passed along to our photographer, venue, videographer, etc, to make sure everyone was on the same page. Rob even got us drinks during dinner! He did an awesome job of keeping the dance floor packed all night and we had tons of compliments on the music.
We also used Rob's Photobooth rather than going through a different vendor for that. Our guests loved the photobooth and we did a scrapbook where our guests kept one copy of the photo strip and glued the other copy in our photobook and wrote something underneath it. It was hilarious to look through. Encore also provided us with a DVD of all the photos taken that night which is a great keepsake and a great way to have photos of the guests that you didn’t get to talk to much. I can’t remember the name of the photobooth attendant, but he did a great job moving people in and out as there was a line almost all night long!
GUEST




Of all the vendors that I used for my wedding, I am most happy with the DJ. They made sure that everything ran very smoothly. They were very professional and did a wonderful job mixing in all the cultural music that my family requested. Very trustworthy!
GUEST




Jeremy was our DJ and he did a great job. He was very professional and played a great mix of music for all who attended. We also had a photobooth at our wedding (also rented from Encore) and it was a huge hit to all of guests. I would highly recommend Encore to anyone getting married in the Columbus area.
GUEST




We were so pleased that we went with Encore Entertainment for our DJ. They took the time to meet with us prior to our wedding and carefully planned out how the reception was going to go. They were able to accomodate any requests that we had, and helped fill in the blanks on the details that we weren't sure about. The extra time that they take and their attention to detail helped to make the whole night perfect. Our guests never left the dance floor. We received so many compliments on the music not only for dancing but during the cocktail hour and dinner as well.
GUEST




They get the job done, and do it well. Acoustics, volume, placement of DJ were all exactly on. I had a short reception so I didnt hear a lot of the songs I had hoped to hear, but Rob did a fantastic job getting everything in order and done on time which is a difficult task.

The guys with Encore were amazing! They kept the night flowing smoothly and really did a good job of maintaining a fun atmosphere. Jeremy assured us he would "read" the room to decide what type of song to choose next and he did just that! All of my guests have told us they had the most fun at our wedding compared to all others they'd been to and we owe a lot of that credit to our wonderful DJ! Another great thing about Encore is that you have the option to book a photobooth through them. This was convenient and was also a hit at the reception!!!

We had Dave from Encore as our DJ at our wedding in Sept of 2010. Before our wedding we had a 1 hour pre-meeting to establish "do not play" lists, wedding introductions and other relevant topics. Dave had wonderful suggestions during our meeting and even helped us settle on songs for the Father/Daughter dance and cake cutting music.
During the receptions, Dave integrated in special song requests and even on the spot B-day and Anniversary shout outs. He read the crowd well and never "drove" people off the dance floor with ill timed music.
Encore's service and prefessionalism is top notch. Do try to save a couple bucks by hiring a low budget DJ. Hire the BEST, you won't be dissapointed!

Encore was great -- I felt a bit worried having not had a meeting with him until two days before the wedding. During the meeting I felt like they weren't extremely flexible with music choices, they have some pre-set choices (like with the bridal party entrance).
They were amazing with the progression of the night and stayed on task to a tee! Austin was our DJ and he kept the crowd moving! Only once did he play a song that I dissaproved of and had the entire dance floor retreat to the tables.
Overall, he did a GREAT job, and I even had people ask if Encore travels and told how much they loved the DJ service ! I was happy and the crowd had a BLAST!! Everyone was sweating and dancing the night away ;-)

Rob was great. He kept the night going till midnight and the dancefloor was packed the entire time. He was great at helping with the ceremony and timing of when everyone was to walk down the isle, and throughout the evening he would come to me to ensure I was happy with the timing of what we had planned earlier.
Encore Entertainment is an excellent vendor in the wedding industry. Always listens to clients, very fun to work with, and a great owner!!! Love, love Encore!
XOXO!

If you're looking for a DJ that can not only be a great Master of Ceremonies for your reception, but who also knows how to work a crowd, respond to the vibe of your crowd and create a great experience, you can't go wrong with Encore. Encore are truly Professional Disc Jockeys and don't do this as a party time hobby. I can't say enough great things about their level of professionalism.
I highly recommend Encore Entertainment. I had known Rob for a number of years so when my daughter was planning her wedding, this was an easy choice. Always professional and easy to work with. Rob took the time with my daughter and her then fiancee' to find out exactly what they wanted for their music and atmosphere. Everything was exactly as he promised and better than they had hoped....Best of all - everyone had a BLAST!
DJs are a dime a dozen, but it is so important to hire the best you can afford - a DJ can make or break your event! Rob at Encore Entertainment stands head and shoulders above the others which is why Details does not hesitate to recommend his services.
I have had the pleasure to work with Rob and the gang from Encore many times. Above everything else, every couple has been way pleased with the quality of the company and how much fun they had at their wedding. As many times as I get a chance, I refer Encore Ent. to all of my brides who are looking for quality entertainment!

One of the best in the city! Rob's professionalism and presence is unmatched. He does a fantastic job of keeping your event on track but never overshadowing the event.
Just about every time I have the honor of designing for a bride at the Darby House or the Venue at Smith Brothers, I know I will see Encore Entertainment as the DJ. They are professional, respectful, and on time, which, is very important. I would hire them myself, that's how confident I am in their services.

I am always pleased to hear I'm working with Encore Entertainment. It means that I KNOW the evening will run smoothly for both of us. Obviously, they'll play the right music for the crowd and get people dancing. But they are also excellent at communicating with me all night to make sure that our couple not only has a fantastic party but the awesome pictures to go with it.
