Reviews for Event Team Entertainment
GUEST




Very thorough! We met a few times and he had an out line to know when and where we were doing things. A friend sang at the reception and he came early to set up and do mic checks the morning of the wedding...it was more than I would have expected from a DJ! He made the wedding night flow smooth and had great music!
GUEST




Shawn and Event Team Entertainment were fantastic at my wedding on 10/8/2011. I got married outdoors at a vineyard, had a separate harpist for the ceremony music and then had the reception inside at the vineyard. Shawn and his team had everything mic'd - me (the groom) the officiant and the harpist. The sound was perfect and everyone could hear throughout the ceremony - even the people in the back row. After the ceremony and through the reception Shawn kept things moving and on track, coordinated with other vendors at the wedding, was accommodating and flexible, and basically I just can't say enough. He was a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate in recommending him. I think we when shopped around for DJ services he was a little higher then others - but you get what you pay for and he is definitely 1st class in his field!
GUEST




I chose Event Team because, after a high price quote, my DJ Neil worked with me to find a quote that was within my budget and met my needs. He was great to work with, offering advice on how to lay out our reception so everything runs smoothly from one event to the next, and did a great job at the wedding itself.
GUEST




Shawn is worth every penny! We have been to many weddings in the past few years and have never experienced a DJ like Shawn. To call Shawn just a “DJ” is almost unfair. He was an event planner, a day of coordinator, and an entertainer, just to name a few. The special touches he adds to every wedding is worth the money you will spend. We will never forget the end of the night when Shawn and his team gathered all of our family and friends to circle the dance floor for our last dance. In between the lyrics of the song “At Last” Shawn had dubbed our wedding vows from hours early. It will always be our favorite memory.If you are planning a wedding, do yourself a favor and book Event Team Entertainment ASAP!

When planning my wedding I was a little apprehensive about spending a "ton" of money when it came to the DJ lets just say THANK GOODNESS we did! Jesse with events team ent was outstanding. Looking back now I spent a ton of money on my flowers they looked great but the value I paid to have jesse was well worth it! He did everything from run our rehearsal, the wedding, giving us water when seemly we couldn't find time I felt like he went above and beyond to meet with us and get to know us we were even able to take him to lunch to get to know him better! He took the time to get to know my husband and I and was so easy to work withHe always was timely and efficient the day of the wedding he looked professional, acted professional, and again went above and beyond we truly felt like he was a friend who did our DJing. He helped us make everything personable and unique! HIRE THEM you will not regret it!!
GUEST




THIS is your DJ!!!!! Everything was perfect; they made our wedding flow and everyone had an AMAZING time!!!! People are still calling it the wedding of the year and they are definitely to thank for that!!!!!!! I can't say enough great things!!! Book them now :)
GUEST




Amazing service and job. They pretty much took over the night so we didn't have to worry about a thing. I'm still getting comments about how good Event Team Entertainment was for our wedding.
GUEST




Jesse Bearden, from Event Team Entertainment, was just brilliant. From the first phone call to the last song on our wedding night, Jesse was such a dream to work with. He's professional, sincere, very caring and attentive to his clients' wishes. He covered all of the best songs from our playlist and even incorporated songs that came to mind during some of the toasts that fit so perfectly, ie. Star Wars theme song (my husband's name is Luke)! He exceeded our expectations and really made our wedding night a magical, unforgettable event! (I wouldn't change one thing given the chance to do the night all over again!!)
GUEST




We had Jesse as our DJ and he was more than we could have asked . My husband and I connected with Jesse right away. At our wedding I had two separate guests ask if he was a family member because how well he was with our children and family. I would recommend him to everyone I know!! He reads people and really captures how you want your special day and nails it. Jesse brought our ideas to life and created everlasting memories for us forever. He does what he loves and it shows. Thanks Jesse!!
GUEST




Event Team Entertainment came highly recommended to us. We went with Shawn and couldn't have been happier with his personality and services. Everything was PERFECT with the music, entertainment, etc. at our wedding. I still have friends and family tell me how impressed they were with our DJ and how much fun they had dancing at our wedding (and we were married 3 months ago)!! Even though it's one of the more spendy DJ services around, I wouldn't have traded the experience for anything in the world.
GUEST




As soon as Shawn arrived at our wedding reception and introduced himself I felt assured that the our wedding celebration and after dinner dancing would be a success. Shawn Whittemore is a total professional and before I knew it he was loaded in, set up, and ready to roll. Despite some rather complicated coastal logistics and travel limitations Shawn made our reception effortless and fun for everyone. Cannot recommend Shawn enough! - Derek and Tristan
GUEST




Neil stepped in for us last minute when we had issues with our original DJ. He picked up on who we were and what we wanted right away and gave us a wonderful wedding with lots of fun dancing! Thank you so much!
GUEST




Jesse was an awesome DJ! He really went above and beyond for us and we were more than happy to have him as apart of our day. Thanks so much for everything Jesse and Event Team Entertainment! :)
GUEST




Our best money spent was on Shawn. He was professional, fun and perfectly executed the flow of our ceremony and reception. The order, pace and events were perfect. Guests commented that he was the best DJ and Master of Ceremonies of any wedding or event they'd ever been to. The music was awesome and the dance floor was packed. Shawn is extremely classy and a true expert of his field. Our wedding was virtually flawless, and many thanks go to Shawn for making that happen.
GUEST




The music played was exactly what we requested and he was able to keep the party going. Thank you for your amazing service.
GUEST




Neil Kirkpatrick was the Master of Ceremonies and Disc Jockey for our wedding on 07/23/11 at the Mt. Hood Winery. We met with Neil three times, including a trip to the venue, prior to the wedding and he was professional and prepared for each meeting. He had great ideas and was extremely responsive to what we were wanting. He was additionally responsive to our emails and texts when finishing up the details! On the day of, he was early, professional in setting up, professionally dressed, and prepared for every little thing that needed to be done (planned or not planned). He went with the flow, but was amazing with keeping us on our vision, timeline, and having a great party. Comments from our guests included a wide age range of guests in their mid twenties to mid nineties and everyone stated that they wishes they would have had Neil at their wedding, how cordail Neil is, and how professional, prepared, and organized Neil is. He was definitely worth it!
GUEST




My wife and I got married on the 16th of July 2011. Assuming that the weather was going to be perfect we planned an outdoor wedding. We met with Neil a few weeks before the wedding and instantly realized that we had made the correct choice. Neil explained EVERYTHING and gave us tons of suggestions and examples of music, schedules and other entertainment ideas. Leading up to the wedding, Neil kept in constant contact and designed our perfect day as per our wishes.Unfortunately, Neil was a lot more reliable than Oregon weather and at the last minute we had to make some last minute changes to accommodate for the rain. No problem for Event Team Entertainment.The big day came along and it turned out that the Oregon rain was not our only unexpected wedding guest. However, despite fire engines sirens during the ceremony and a two hour electrical fault during the reception our big day was amazing! My new wife and I had the best day of our lives and a big part of that was due to Neil Kirkpatrick.Although he couldn't do much about the sirens during the ceremony (which actually added a little comedy and helped keep the tears away), Neil and his assistant kept their cool all night. They changed our mute and light-less reception into dinner and cake cutting by candle light and our first dance to a car radio. Once the electric came back on the party continued and our DJs even stayed an extra couple of hours to allow our guests to continue partying the night away.Thank you Neil and Event Team Entertainment for turning our wedding with imperfections into the perfect wedding.
GUEST




We chose Jesse as our DJ because of the great job he did at a family member's wedding. We knew he was great before we booked him, but he still exceeded our expectations. He helped us from the beginning of rehearsal to the last moment of the reception. I can't say enough great things about Jesse. If you want to have an awesome party an dance the night away at your wedding... book Jesse he is awesome! Our guests had only great comments and no one wanted the night to end!
GUEST




Shawn made sure everything at our wedding went smoothly! He worked so well with our vendors, coordinated with them, and helped make sure that the party went smoothly and we didn't have to worry about a thing! He made our wedding personal and really worked with us to be sure it was everything we wanted and MORE! Everyone commented on how awesome our DJ was and how they made the entire day come together for the guests and for us!
GUEST




Jesse Bearden with Event Team Entertainment was professional, personable and a great speaker! You don't realize how crucial it is that your DJ have a great personality and the ability to speak in front of crowds until it is happening on your wedding day. He was AMAZING! He played all the right music based on the age group that was dancing. One of our number one compliments at our wedding was the wonderful music that was played. THANK YOU! you rock!
GUEST




Jesse was so accommodating to our needs. We were not even in the country until three weeks before the wedding and he met with us and was able to provide everything we asked for, including songs from the UK. He kept us up to speed what time it was and what we were expected to do next which was so incredible helpful. He had everyone out dancing all night and our guests really enjoyed themselves. After the wedding, the catering staff asked for his business card to pass onto other couples who book our venue for weddings because they said they had 'never seen so many people out on the dance floor'. Jesse was a joy to work with and helped make our day run smoothly. We could not have asked for a better DJ.
GUEST




Shawn & his staff at Event Team NW made our wedding! It was amazing the quality of service he provided for us. He met with us numerous times to really get to know my husband and I, get our voice overs, pictures, and really pick out music that was us. Every single person at our wedding ranted and raved for weeks after our wedding about the DJ and how amazing he was. Our friend even booked him for their wedding! They went above and beyond to make our wedding so very special and unique!
GUEST




I thought Jesse at Event Team Entertainment did a fabulous job at our wedding. He worked with us before hand to get a good idea of what we were looking for and what we wanted. I think people had fun and enjoyed his enthusiasm. It was nice to have someone in charge of the events and timing. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!
GUEST




After interviewing four other DJ services, we chose Event Team Entertainment. Shawn was so professional, he was enthusiastic and took the time to listen to what we wanted. He also provided a lot of insight. Our wedding was a perfect day, and a huge part of that can be attributed to Shawn and his team. They took charge and got the party started. Everyone danced and had a great time! Thank you so much for helping to make our day so amazing!
GUEST




My event couldn't have gone more smoothly, months after I am still hearing guests say how much fun they had at our reception. My grandparents, mother, even uncle were out on the dance floor having a great time, I couldn't believe my eyes! Mark was easy to work with, prompt in returning my emails and phone calls, and was willing to work with me long distance (I live in Eastern Oregon). During the event he kept things on schedule without being pushy, he is so laid back that everything was a breeze and went perfectly according to plan!
GUEST




Event Team did a fantastic job at my wedding. They are truely worth the money. Shawn does an amazing job of keeping the wedding moving and keeping everyone informed of what is to come. Hiring Event Team is like hiring a DJ/Wedding Coordinator and MC. -Erin Olsen
GUEST




Shawn sat with us for hours as we tried to pick the songs for our ceremony. He was patient as I looked up all the lyrics and helped us find ceremony music that really meant something to us and our relationship! In lieu of a program, we recorded messages with Shawn about each member of our wedding party, which was played as they entered the reception. The guests are still talking about it! The lighting they provided was incredible- they changed it many times through out the night! I could go on and on as to how Event Team Entertainment helped make our wedding unforgettable! Book Event Team, you won't be disappointed! They are worth every penny and more!
GUEST




I have worked with Shawn from Event Team Entertainment on several weddings/events, so I already knew his style, professionalism and skill. He's one of the best! So it was a no-brainer to hire him for my own wedding!Shawn is able to read the crowd and keep the party going ... whether your guests are dance-maniacs or dance-shy.Event Team Entertainment is quality at its best!!
GUEST




Jesse at Event Team Entertainment was a pleasure to work with--from the beginning of our planning process until the actual ceremony/reception in Oct. 2010. Jesse was extremely professional, responsive and very very nice. He worked with an assistant for the actual event and they did a great job with the music we requested. They even hooked up a friend's ipod when everyone wanted to hear certain music (Indian Bhangra!). We were very satisfied! We partied until the hotel shut us down! Great dance party...
GUEST




I am a Food and Beverage Director at Persimmon Country Club and See executed weddings all the time, And with out question the best dj service I've seen and used personally! If I had to pick one part of the wedding that made it priceless, it was the smoke, Lights and slide show that event team and Jesse prepared for us! I would reccommend these guys to my own family! Thanks again guys.. Simply the best!!
GUEST




We would recommend Shawn to anyone wanting an outstanding DJ for their wedding. He was easy to work with, very professional and very likable. He worked with us to incorporate every song that we selected, into the most appropriate portion of the evening and it all worked very well. Shawn kept our guests entertained and helped make it a night that we did not want to end. We've been to many weddings, including our own, and we can definitely say that Shawn is the best we've experienced. Thank you Shawn!
GUEST




Event Team Entertainment made our wedding! From helping us work out all of the details, walking us through our rehearsal, making our reception run smoothly, and adding so many personal touches to make our wedding unforgettable, I cannot imagine our wedding without them. Shawn was amazing to work with and went above and beyond to create special moments for our reception and grand enterance. Every penny that we spent was worth it and we both feel we got more than our monies worth! A DJ can really make or break your wedding and they definitely made our reception more incredible than we could have ever imagined! Thank you Event Team Entertainment!
GUEST




Shawn Whittemore was an absolute professional and very educated in the DJ service. He traveled numerous times to meet us halfway in Salem to make things convenient, and he was always communicating with us throughout our planning process. Shawn keeps the crowd entertained and never leaves the guests with a dull moment. We had numerous positive comments about him. He also DJ a wedding/reception for a friend of mine at work, and that is why we selected him because of his performance for their wedding event. He is well worth the expense of a DJ.
GUEST




I loved Jesse and the way your company provided me the best DJ service ever! I could not have asked for an easier day, it went smoothly and I got to dance all night long. My DJ jesse was exactly what my husband and I wanted for our DJ. I was so happy to have your company and I will recommend you again and again. Thank you so much for making the wedding a dream come true.
GUEST




Event Team Entertainment is awesome! We actually attended a friend's wedding that hired another one of their DJs 2 months before our own wedding and so we got to experience 2 of the 3 DJs. I highly recommend these guys! They made sure things were coordinated and they were the middleman to the other vendors whenever I had any questions or concerns on the day of. Where they really shined was when it came time for the open dances, they know how to judge their audience and really got the party going strong! I never expected the reactions and vibe of the entire party but it was simply amazing. We would highly highly recommend booking Event Team Entertainment as a DJ!
GUEST




Our ceremony was on a beach - the ceremony portion was perfect (microphones, fading of music, etc.). However, the reception portion had some room for imporvement. Some guests indicated that they requested certain songs be played and they were not. Another guest felt that the Dj was rude to her (my mother in law!). Additionally, the DJ mis-pronounced my name (not good to mispronounce the bride's name!!). Fortunately, my best friend went up and corrected him immediately. Also, some of the names in the wedding party were mis pronounced.
Vendor response to review
Hello Brena & Paul,I am so sorry that things did not go better with Anthony Rice. He has been in business for many years as All About Music DJ Company and I know him though my DJ association. I will NEVER have him sub a job for me again after reading your review. I am terribly embarrassed that he represented my company in that manner and very sorry that was your experience. He did not share any of this with me, of course, so this is the first I am learning of this. Please accept my sincere apology and know he will not go out on another gig for my company. If you review our other 106 reviews you will see that is not the experience that our clients typically have with Event Team Entertainment DJ's.Shawn
GUEST




Jesse went ABOVE and BEYOND his job description. We could not have asked for a better DJ/MC/AMAZING PERSON. We had told Jesse about our nightmare of a 'wedding planner' that we had hired, and he literally took care of multiple things that he DID NOT have to do for us. Not only did my husband and I have the best night of our lives, our guests LOVED him! Multiple guests came up to us to tell us how much they loved him. Not only that but I have passed on his info to a few of our guests because they want to book him for upcoming events. He is professional, friendly, and amazing at what he does. THANK YOU!!
GUEST




Do yourself a favor and check EventTeam out. We felt a great DJ was one of the most important items for our wedding and found exactly what we were looking for. Couldn't have asked for anything better.
GUEST




I am in the entertainment industry and so when my daughter decided to get married I wanted to be sure that the most important part of the reception (the dj/mc) was handled by a professional - We interviewed over 10 (so called) DJ's until we met with Shawn - we had a budget and he was a bit over our budget but when we stopped and thought about the difference in price - it was the best bargin out there - he not only kept the wedding flowing (we have been to several since) and they seem boring - lifeless - uneventful - he entertained our guests - make things flow (way better than an event planner) and down to the small details of how the bride and groom entered was planned and exectuted flawlessly. He has a great imagination - a wonderful warm personality - he cares about who he is working for and I will be hiring him 3 more times for my 3 other children when the time comes. We have been told by ALMOST ALL 350 guests that we set the bar high - that it was a wedding they will remember the rest of their lives - and it is due to Event Team Entertianment and Shawn - Don't just hire a DJ - hire the person that will make it a night to remember -no kidding - it makes all the difference in the world :) Our gratitude will be forever for the night our oldest daughter said in all her dreams it couldn't have been that good - My advice to others with children getting married - cut corners on things like flowers - dresses - etc - this is well worth hiring the best in Oregon!
GUEST




We really enjoyed working with Shawn. He did a great job taking our taste/requests into account. You could tell that he really listens to his clients. He also serves as your wedding coordinator. He was there to direct our rehearsal the day before our wedding and did a great job taking charge and making sure that we all knew our roles and felt comfortable for the big day. He really reduced the stress of the wedding by being so confident and experienced. He is a bit expensive, but once you consider all his services you see that he is worth the money. Also, my music cut out a bit on my walk down the aisle, but it was not a big deal when you think of the big picture. Everyone commented on what a fun wedding it was, and I know that this was because of Shawn's pacing and activities/announcements he had during the reception. Shawn was excellent, and we would recommend him to a friend!
GUEST




Jesse from event team entertainment, Was an amazing person to work with. He always answerd all my questions and concerns and was so much fun to work with. He was very excited about being our dj for our wedding. He played all my song requests and made everything flow smoothly. He coordinated the rehersal and everything the wedding day! He did way more than just played music, he was fully involved in everything and very personable and friendly to all my guests. He made the whole night fun! ALL my guests loved every song and how fun he was!!!! Hes the best DJ! I recomend him for everyones wedding!!!
GUEST




Shawn was great. Very professional and worked with exactly what we wanted. A friend at our wedding has already used him for a party!
GUEST




We loved working with Shawn and his team. They made our day stress free and fun. Many of our guests commented on how great his work was! I highly recommend him.
GUEST




Shawn DJed our wedding but "DJ" doesn't even begin to capture all that he did - he also organized the rehearsal, served as the master of ceremonies and acted as a go-between for all of the vendors. He was calm, organized, and a true professional. Many of my guests complimented me on how well the wedding was run and more importantly, how fun it was! Shawn responded to all my last-minute questions, even the silly ones, and reassured me every step of the way that we were in good hands. And he was totally right! He took care of little details that I had forgotten to ask about. The best was when he added funny music to highlight my sisters/maids-of-honor's toasts, which was a huge hit with the crowd. We will always remember that day and thank Shawn so much for providing us with the heart and soul of a wonderful celebration. Annie & Josh Callahan
GUEST




Event Team did an amazing job on our wedding night. I would highly recommend their services in a heartbeat. Our wedding night went just perfectly. I could not picture it any other way.
GUEST




Event Team Entertainment made my wedding day spectacular. They not only provided great music, but made the event come to life. All of the guests thought our reception was a blast!
GUEST




Jesse was very professional, had a great personality, and helped the whole evening go smoothly with great transitions.
GUEST




We could not have asked more from Event Team Entertainment, they made our wedding and reception perfect! They kept everyone (including the other vendors) on schedule, allowing for a perfect night! The music and special effects were amazing, our guests were blown away! Event Team Entertainment is worth every penny! We strongly recommend them to any bride and groom to be!
GUEST




Jesse was a fabulous DJ and worth every penny. Entertainment is such a key part of weddings and you will not be disappointed with Event Team Entertainment.
GUEST




I would highly recommend Event Team. He wasn't pushy at all, yet he managed to discretely keep the wedding going. It was the first wedding that I've been at (and I've been to a LOT) where guests commented on how great the DJ was the next day. If you need any more specifics, please feel free to contact me, because I was extremely happy with Shawn!
GUEST




Jesse from Event Team Entertainment was nothing short of amazing! He went above and beyond any expectation I had. My guests had a great time, I had a great time, everything was perfect! I never realizedhow important the role of the DJ is at an event. I now understand that things would not have gone so smoothly without Jesse. Event Team Entertainment gets my highest of recomendations!
GUEST




Our Wedding date was April 24, 2010. Marc was an incredible asset to our wedding. We were living in Germany while planning our wedding and Marc was extremely helpful and timely with communication via email, phone, and video chat. Event team was able to customize our day to give us exactly what we wanted, while not having to pay for things that we didn't want. Marc kept the music flowing during our reception and was able to read the guests to keep everyone content and occupied. Even during the reception, the team (Marc and Shawn in our case) kept us informed, but handled any little thing that needed to be taken care of. Overall it was an amazing day that ran smoothly thanks to Event Team! I would absolutely recommend them.Emily Jones (Portland, OR)
GUEST




Shawn and his group at Event Team Entertainment put on a spectacular show at our wedding reception. To us, the event was smooth and seamless. It was truly a night to remember. Event team Entertainment was well prepared and kept the reception guests entertained until our departure at the end of the evening. We received many positive and warm comments about the MC. Shawn was professional in every way and made the event fun for all. Shawn made every effort to cater the event to our needs as well. He said this was our day and made it special with the small personal touches. We appreciated Shawn�s attention to detail. We would highly recommend Event Team Entertainment�s services for your wedding reception or special event.Sincerely, Sage and Gary Hartung
GUEST




We had seen Shawn in action at several friend's weddings prior to planning our own...so we knew how great it was going to be working with him. From the beginning stages of planning, we knew we were in good hands with Shawn and that he was going to make our wedding run as smoothly as possible. He was so organized with our time line and schedule for the ceremony and reception. Shawn did an AMAZING job reading our guests and incorporating music that we had requested. We received so many compliments about what a great job he was doing the night of our wedding, and we are still hearing fabulous remarks weeks after. Shawn's special little touches and attention to detail really are what sets him above all others.
GUEST




My search for a dj was a lengthy one..that is..until I met Jesse with Event Team. To me finding the perfect DJ was such a big deal because I know that they really do make or break a party. I've been to weddings that should've been great, but instead dragged..all because of the dj! I met with Jesse and was sure he would be great because his personality was very warm and fun, but he was also very professional and knew how important this day was for me. He met with a few times before the wedding to fine tune details and help me make selections...when I really couldn't make any more decisions, he stepped in and helped me.The wedding day itself was an absolute success. Jesse and his team were a blast to work with and it helped so much that we had built that rapport ahead of time. I think a lot of DJ's make the party about themselves, but Jesse made it about us and our party.I wouldn't have changed a thing. He was great. A+ Event Team
GUEST




Shawn Whittemore did a fantastic job at our wedding. I have had many guests who attended tell me that our wedding was the most fun they have ever been to because of the dj. The price is a little higher than some but my husband and I really believe we got our money's worth!! Shawn planned things that were unique, fun, and very memorable for our reception (we won't give anything away). Definitely recommend, you won't be disappointed :)
GUEST




Shawn was the consummate professional right from the get-go. Everything from personal appearance to attitude, great ideas and creativity, timeliness, adaptability, you name it. Because of Shawn we had a ceremony and reception that neither we nor our guests will soon forget. I couln't have imagined a more perfect evening filled with fun, sentiment and guest involvement.
GUEST




Shawn did a great job "running" the wedding. Everything stayed on track and guests were really impressed by his ability to coordinate. He also made our wedding really personalized with our slideshows, meeting with us to discuss how we wanted the ceremony to go, cutting messages we had spoken and putting them into songs. We are really impressed by Event Team Entertainment.
GUEST




We have seen Shawn in action prior to our wedding date. Shawn still does not cease to amaze with his level of professionalism. We did not have a coordinator at our wedding and Shawn was quick to step in that role and help where needed. Shawn made sure that we all knew where we were supposed to be throughout the whole night. We were moving along faster than expected, and as soon as we were going to mention something, Shawn was already on top of it moving us right into our cake cutting. It was easy to see that within just a few minutes of working with him our parents were completely relaxed and knew that no matter what Shawn would keep us on track. Our wedding was at a private location, with a conservative crowd and some of the family did not believe in dancing. It was one of the highlights of the night to see those people dancing and enjoying themselves. We had many people come up to us and compliment us on how wonderful Shawn was and how they appreciated him for not �stealing the show� This was a fun and simple wedding, Shawn put the same heart, passion, and dedication toward our wedding that I have seen him put fourth on weddings that were 3 times larger than ours. Thanks So much Shawn and Jesse(one of Shawns awesome staff) for guiding us through the night and being a big part of our wedding celebration. We can't say enough.
GUEST




The first thing that impressed me about Event Team Entertainment and Shawn in particular is that for our meetings he came to Kyle & my house. That may sound like a simple thing, but when you start meeting with vendors your weeknights become packed with meetings and have you driving across the city. I really appreciated the willingness for Shawn to come to us! It made him so easy to work with.Another thing that I loved about Shawn was his flexibility. Kyle and I started out not needing him for the ceremony and then soon before the wedding we in fact did need him. That was no problem for Shawn. We also changed the songs we wanted for special dances and times during the reception about 5 times. Not only did Shawn keep up with all the current song changes, he had a great attitude the entire time. For the reception my biggest concern was that people just kept dancing. Kyle and I didn't have a lot of strict direction in what kind of music he played, except that we wanted to just keep the dancing going. And he did that! There wasn't a single song he played where the dance floor wasn't packed. My family and friends have been to a lot of weddings lately and even they were impressed by Shawn. He directed us through the night... nobody missed out on any of the special events because he was sure to get everyone's attention. The guests at the wedding are still talking about how much fun they had dancing and how great the music was. His services at our ceremony and reception were the best. And I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to hire the best! Like I said - I've been to a lot of weddings... where a mic will go out during the toasts, or a wrong song is played - none of this will happen with Shawn. He truly helped make Kyle and my wedding the perfect event that we planned for.
GUEST




Shawn and his team at Event Team Entertainment were literally indescribable! The services they provided my husband, family and friends the day of our wedding was everything we wanted and much more. The customer service that Event Team Entertainment provides is exceptional and I never felt that I was being a bother (ever when I changed a song I wanted to play for our reception at 1am the morning of our wedding before I went to bed that night- and yes... it was played just in the order I asked it to appear). Thank you Shawn for all you did for us... you truly made our party everything we had ever dreamt of!
GUEST




Shawn and his team at Event Team Entertainment were absolutely fabulous as our wedding DJ and director. Throughout the entire day of our wedding, our guests commented on how wonderful Shawn was. From the day we met him, we knew he was a great fit as he came to our home completely prepared and professional. He had great suggestions and fun ideas for our special day. My husband and I both feel that Shawn set the mood for our reception and directed it perfectly. Everything went without a hitch and everyone had a great time. I was told by many different people that our special day was the most engaging, exiting, and smooth wedding they had ever been to. I honestly give credit to Shawn for these comments, as he knew exactly what he was doing. He is very talented at what he does. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! I will always refer anyone who needs a DJ to Event Team Entertainment. We have the highest respect for this company and will use them the next time we need their services. Thank you Shawn & the Event Team!!! You guys are truly the best.Sincerely,Caitlyn & Ron Huffman
GUEST




Shawn and his Event Team did a great job at our wedding, they were just the right combination of professional and entertaining. Shawn met with my wife and me twice before the wedding to go through the details of song selection, arrangements, and special requests. He was on time and prompt to every meeting. Shawn led a very productive and efficient rehearsal. The day of the wedding Shawn showed as soon as the venue allowed, and prevented any additional worry or stress regarding his arrival. The wedding reception went very well, things moved along at a perfect pace. All of our introduction, first dance, and special moment songs were played as requested. The only improvement at all that could have make our day more special than it already was, would have been if the bride/groom?s personal music preference for hip-hop/country songs had been played during the reception. As it was, the guests had a great time with the songs that were played as well with the bride/groom trivia. After the event, Shawn and his crew discreetly cleaned up their equipment and left the venue as it was prior to the event. The traditional songs were played during the ceremony, and we really appreciated Shawn?s thoughtfulness in selecting the appropriate version of songs that would be best for the type of ceremony we had. Recording the vows and playing them during the last dance was a wonderful and special touch that both bride and groom greatly appreciated. We would definitely recommend to couples who are looking for a great DJ for their wedding.
GUEST




Shawn Whittemore was everything we could have asked for in a DJ. He was very professional and always kept us informed on any updates and let us know right away if he needed anything from us. He even attended our rehearsal to go over the schedule of our wedding with our coordinator. A lot of our friends and family commented that our DJ did such a great job. He really kept things flowing during the reception and knew our taste in songs. It was really a pleasure having Shawn as our DJ. He covered all bases and we never ran into any sort of problem or issue due to his preparation.
GUEST




We had several meetings with different DJs set up, but our first meeting was with Shawn from Event Team Entertainment...As soon as we sat down with him we all (my new husband, mother, and father) knew that he was it! As soon as the meeting was over I emailed all the others and canceled with them...He was just completely on top of everything...With Shawn you not only get an amazing DJ, but you also get a master of ceremonies, and eccentially a day of planner! At our rehearsal he went through everything step by step making sure everyone new what to do! And then the day of he made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible, even down to making sure all the bridal party entered the aisle at the correct time! He was amazing! He also has some very unique options for the reception! All my guest were in tears several times throughtout the night!
GUEST




Shawn did an outstanding job for us. From planning to execution, Shawn held our hand and led us through without a hitch. Would highly recommend.Chuck and Denise
GUEST




Shawn was amazing! Our friends and family still talk about how great our DJ was. He made our wedding day so incredibly unique and special. When most people see his costs, they question whether it's worth it, and let me tell you, he is totally worth every penny! He met with us several times leading up to the wedding, making sure our wedding/reception was a representation of us and our relationship. He coordinated our rehearsal, which ended being quite the life-saver. He even threw in some special surprises for us, which made our day even more special. There is not one bad thing I could say about Shawn and his company, he was great! If you want your guests to have a great time and to be entertained, and you just want to be able to enjoy your day without any worries, he is the DJ/MCee for you!
GUEST




We used Event Team Entertainment for our wedding last weekend,and would highly recommend them to anyone.Shawn made our special day soo wonderfull without him we would not have not the day we did. He was exceptional,very well orginized,and could make any wedding the BEST wedding ever.We had many of our guest come up to us and tell us how well our dj/wedding director did.I would recommend him to any one wanting to have the BEST day ever!!!!!:)
GUEST




We loved Shawn with Event Team Entertainment. I highly recommend him to everyone I talk to and everyone is still talking about not only the music but the way the wedding flowed with his exceptional talent. We loved them!!!!!
GUEST




Event Team Entertainment did a fantastic job on our wedding. Event Team Entertainment created an experience not only for our marriage but all the guests that attended the event. It was very flattering to have guests say "I don't want to leave the reception yet" or "the Dj you had last night did an exceptional job" and the very best part was seeing the last shuttle bus at capacity because everyone didn't want to leave. I do have to be honest about one point; by occupation I have a nature to be a little tighter with expenses and was considering having an open bar and cutting back on the expense of the Dj. I am glad my new wife convinced me that people are coming to have a good time and drinking is secondary (they can do that any other time of the week); from the overall experience this definitely proved to be the case and better choice. If you like hassle free, want people to have great experience/memories, and get your money's worth, hands down Event Team Entertainment has my recommendation. Great job guys and thanks for the exceptional good time.
GUEST




WOW - Shawn is way more then just your average DJ. He went above and beyond what you would expect when you hire an entertainer. He made sure everything at the ceremony and reception went as smooth as possible. All of my wedding guests were blown away by the amazing special effects he used at the reception such as are first dance "dancing in the clouds" and the special lighting and voice overs that were used in all of our main dances. My wedding was the most amazing day of my life and we could have never accomplished what we did without Shawn and his staff!
GUEST




I can't say enough wonderful things about Event Team and Shawn. From the very first phone call to the final goodbye, Shawn was professional, fun, easily contactable and just a blast to work with. After meeting with him, I couldn't resist telling everybody that our wedding would be the best wedding ever since he was involved ? and he made good on my promise! He was very hands-on throughout the entire planning process, made sure everything ran smoothly during the big day, and he even went above and beyond the call of DJ duties by jumping in to help when we had a small cake emergency! I have to admit that I was a little hesitant of the price in the beginning, but he turned out to be well worth it, especially when I realized that he was more organized than any of my other vendors! I don't think any other DJ would have practically doubled as a day-of planner, let alone given us such confidence in his abilities. And I don't want to give anything away for those brides who may book him, so I'll just say this: there were plenty of happy tears after his little end-of-night surprise. Thank you so much Shawn!
GUEST




Shawn did an amazing job at our wedding. He handled everything at the rehersal and everything at the wedding. I did not have to worry or stress about anything. He even stood in for our ringbearer when he got sick right before the ceremony. Shawn went above and beyond at our wedding. We were taking pictures before the ceremony, it was the "first glance" and Shawn started playing some background music. It made the moment very special and emotional because of the music in the background. He also made our reception really fun. He has great ideas to get the guests involved. Everyone commented on how great our DJ was! Shawn truly made our wedding special and we will recommend him to everyone we know.
GUEST




Shawn is everything that we had hoped for. He is a great event director and DJ that made our wedding run smooth. He gave us his time to answer all our questions, listens and accommodates to modifications on our wedding program at the last minute and made sure that everything went well despite his busiest schedule. Shawn is more than a DJ and director, he is great in every way, a great personality and very professional. He gave the bridal party mints and I can't believe he even wiped the table when I spilled my champagne! He is humbled, a down-to-earth person, you won't get intimidated. He will surprise you on your wedding as he surprised us.... a lot! To all the brides-to-be out there, I highly recommend Shawn on your wedding.Oh....and before I forget... our guests, especially the ladies said you're "GUAPO"( in Tagalog), meaning you're HANDSOME!!!A million Thanks Shawn! You're awesome and you ROCK!!!
GUEST




The night of our wedding the power was lost due to a fallen tree. Event Team Entertainment didn't miss a beat. They tracked down a generator and the evening continued as we had planned. They were great!
GUEST




Shawn was everything we hoped he would be. We chose Event Team (specifically Shawn), after an impressive interview. We had met with several other DJ services but Shawn's presentation and professionalism blew us away.He worked with us to create a specialized playlist and was the go to guy with any questions we had, not just about the DJ service, but any logistical questions as well.During the rehearsal he made sure everyone was on the same page and worked with our officiant (My Uncle) to make sure the music cues matched the ceremony script.On the day of the wedding, Shawn was there for even the small things offering mints for the attendants before walking down the aisle. At the reception, all the music we requested was played and he even took requests from our guests. He made sure we were where we needed to be for the cake cutting, mother-son dance, etc. And that we kept to the timetable we created.I could not recommend Event Team entertainment any higher. They offer many additional services that we did not take advantage of due to our daytime ceremony. Many of our guests commented on what a 'rock star' our DJ was.Thanks again!
GUEST




Shawn made our evening flow perfectly. His years of experience enable him to intuitively know what the guests want and when. He is organized so you can relax and enjoy the fun. I recommend the video package showing the pictures and slide show of the bride and groom. This brought many happy tears and laughter to our guests. We also hired Shawn to show the slideshow at the rehearsal dinner. It was wonderful and the background music was an additional surprise for our guests. I will hire Shawn again to celebrate with our family.
GUEST




Shawn was unbelievable. I had so many compliments on Shawn and his level of professionalism. I would definitely recommend him to any bride who wants to sit back and enjoy!! He was awesome!




Very enthusiastic and willing to work with any budget. It's not about the price with this group, but about the quality of your day. HIGHLY RECCOMEND! Sat down with me and presented slideshows of exactly how the wedding could/would go. Lots of creative ideas, for instance games to play when waiting in those oh-so-long buffet lines. Great group of professionals!
GUEST




Shawn is more than a DJ, he is a professional who acts as your wedding director. He made sure that everything was handled the day of, including pushing my aunt's wheelchair from the parking lot all the way to the ceremony site, making sure the groomsmen had their ties straight and helping to direct the rehearsal and ceremony (he even brought us drinks after the ceremony). He also was an incredible help to us in finding other high quality vendors. Shawn put in many, many hours for our wedding and met with us several times to go over all the details. As a DJ, Shawn provides class and fun- an incredibly hard combination to find! His price may seem high at first glance but he is MORE than worth the value you will receive.
GUEST




Shawn was amazing! Our wedding day wouldn't have been as great as it was if it wasn't for Shawn and his team. We were very unsure of what type of music we wanted played, what we wanted our first dance song to be, how our wedding day was going to flow and Shawn helped us get all of that figured out. We have gotten a ton of compliments about our wedding and a lot of them are directed straight to Shawn and how great he was. It's been a little over two months since our wedding and we are still getting compliments about our wedding and how fantastic Shawn was. We cannot give him enough praise for all that he did to make our big day so special.
GUEST




Shawn not only saved the day he did it in style!! I'd already had a DJ booked when he stopped taking my calls and wouldn't awnser my emails 14 days before my wedding. One of my friends had been to a wedding Shawn had done the prevoius year and gave me his number.Shawn awnsered the phone on the first ring and everything just fit into place perfectly from there. He was available for my wedding date and wanted to meet right away. He was able to work around my work shedule and meet me the very next day! He had sent me a list of songs to choose from and when he didn't have a newer song my husband wanted for our first dance he sat right there and bought it off of itunes. We got everything we could have ever dreamed in a DJ that we booked 12 days before our big day. Shawn helped run our rehearsal as our wedding person got stuck in jury duty and was there 100% on our wedding day. He was on time, dressed in a tux, and gave us a great playlist of songs. Even added some in there I hadn't thought about.We got a great deal from Shawn since we booked 12 days before our wedding. But I have to say that I feel as if I cheated him. He totally did way more work then I feel he got paid for!!!!
GUEST




From day one, Shawn at Event Team Entertainment has been there for us for EVERY question that we had, or request that we have made. He showed up to our house for our meeting and was extremely professional in his attire and his presentation. He really has a great grasp on how to make your day MORE that you ever dreamed it could be. For every wedding we have been to, it has always been the DJ who makes or breaks the reception, and he and his team really kept the place rocking, and the whole reception was so streamlined, it was unbelieveable that he could do everything at once and not miss a beat. Just remember, there are less expensive DJ's out there, but for a few hundred more dollars you will get the quality that you deserve. We had so many compliments about how good Event Team was, and how nice it was to have someone there to keep the place going with fun games, interaction with guests, and great music.......We couldnt be happier.. Make sure to check out the monogram lighting and the "dancing on clouds" option he offers.....what a great picture that turned out to be!Gregg and Heather Whiteaker
GUEST




Shawn worked to help us organize both our ceremony and reception. He is SO organized and great at what he does. He has great work ethic and works hard to make your day great!
GUEST




Shawn brought a high level of energy and enthusiasm to our wedding. He was professional, and always sought our opinion first when planning the day. He brings a great deal of experience to the table and had an impressive number of options for each section of the wedding and reception. He had a smooth manner in front of our guests and was very effective at keeping the wedding moving along without being pushy. He did an outstanding job and was a large part of our wedding being so memorable and fun!
GUEST




Shawn was a fantastic dj. Our wedding music and provided microphone services were professional and were done in a manner where we didn't have to have keep any sort of watch or give any input while keeping it personal and in touch with our needs and those of all of our guests. Very, very nice job. Would definitely hire again.
GUEST




We really did enjoy our DJ services, they were amazing and especially the surprise closing song that we had which had pieces of our vows with our own voices in them! It was an amazing service overall
GUEST




Shawn was always willing to work with us- whether it was music choice or reception schedules, he had great ideas and welcomed new ones! We loved his twist on traditions and surprised us with a beautiful mix of our vows into our last dance! It was simply amazing to work with him!
GUEST




I have absolutely no complaints about Shawn & his team. Our day was so much fun & Shawn made that happen. He met with us a few times to go over ceremony scripts as well as different music choices. I'm not much of a traditionalist when it comes to weddings so it was nice that he was ready with alternatives to the "Bridal March" when I told him I didn't want to play it. I pretty much made my own playlist for him and he took it from there.
GUEST




He was an excellent D.J and I would recommend him to anyone. He did an amazing job and made our wedding day very special.
GUEST




Shawn was professional, friendly, and exceeded all of our expectations. We had met with several photographers and DJ's while planning our wedding initially, and were blown away by our first meeting with Shawn. He had prepared a slideshow presentation for us explaining everything he would schedule and arrange to make our special day memorable. His professionalism was unbeatable, and he went out of his way to meet our needs by being flexible with our payment options and in rescheduling our meetings, even driving out of his way to make it easier and less stressful for Jeremy and I. He had great ideas, and recommended a photographer to us as well, Kris Stalnaker with Stalnaker photo studio in Salem, OR. I would highly recommend booking both, as they've done many events together and were able to make our wedding flow beautifully from pictures to ceremony to reception. Our guests were entertained the entire time, and we felt taken care of from beginning to end. Every detail was planned, and our families had a blast. We were gone for a week on our honeymoon, and came home to many messages from friends and wedding guests telling us how great of a time they had. They described feeling like they were a part of our wedding & ceremony, rather than just coming to watch it.If you'd like to worry less and see your event turn out better than you would have ever imagined, Shawn with Event Team Entertainment is the key. Jeremy and I couldn't have been happier with the end result.
GUEST




My husband and I are finally floating down to reality after our PERFECT wedding. It was, by far, the best day of our lives. Event Team Entertainment made our day so flawless and memorable -- I will never forget our last dance, surrounded by all our friends and family with candles, with our vows being played back to us (surprise!!!), and feeling 100% in the moment because I knew they had it covered. Everyone has mentioned what an amazing job they did at the wedding. They were all blown away. The setting, the entertainment, the music -- and the music videos --were all huge hits. I have been telling all my friends are are getting married that they are worth every single penny spent on them!
GUEST




Shawn was a great addition to our wedding. He made sure people we're having fun dancing. He really did a great job! I would definetly recommend him to a friend.
GUEST




We absolutely loved having Shawn as our DJ! Everyone from both sides of our families thought that he did an amazing job. He was well worth the cost. Shawn takes his job seriously but has fun with it. He is not a cheesy or annoying DJ but he us know what is coming up next so that we were not caught off guard and so that our guests didnt miss special events that were coming up. He put lots of time into getting to know us and what we wanted for our special day. He even came to the rehearsal to help out as a wedding director which was amazing for me because we did not had a wedding planner/coordinator. We would recommend him to anyone.
GUEST




Shawn was amazing! Not only did he provide excellent DJing for the reception and ceremony, he also ran the rehearsal, not an easy task, got all the various family and friends to do what they were supposed to do and be nice about it! He helped our friend who officiated the wedding with some things to say, he guided us though the whole thing smoothly start to finish, and on top of all that he was super friendly and supportive! I have nothing but great memories of every interaction, and loved all the help with picking songs and knowing what traditions to fulfill. Without Shawn, our wedding would not have been as much fun, as elegant, or as great of a day!
GUEST




Shawn Whittemore of Event Team Northwest was recommended to us by nearly every wedding vendor in the Portland area, and we are SO happy we chose him as our DJ and master of ceremonies. From our first introductory meeting, through several planning meetings and all the way up through our wedding, Shawn's main focus was ensuring our wedding ran smoothly and the event was what WE wanted. His up-to-date technology and knowledge about his services allowed us to really personalize our wedding. Shawn's professionalism and energetic personality helped our ceremony and reception not only run flawlessly, but had so many of our guests stating it was "the best wedding/party" they have ever attended. We really can't say enough about how pleased we were with his services and recommend Shawn for your wedding, or any other event. :)
GUEST




Shawn is awesome... He was the Dj for my best friends wedding, and when I got engaged he was the first vendor that we booked. He was super flexible, came to our house twice, ran us throug the planning process and was the "master of ceremonies" for our wedding. We were getting married at a more rural location without any staff - we could not have done it without him! He ran our rehearsal of the wedding and got everyone in line. This guy knows what he's doing. His personality is top notch and makes you feel comfortable right from the start. I felt totally confident knowing he was in charge of the timeline, music, etc. He kept everyone on schedule without rushing the event. Everyone kept telling us how great he was, and how awesome the reception was. At first it seems like he might be a little spendier than most DJ's, but do not worry! He works for it. All the planning, scheduling and options that are available to you are worth his price. The guy carries around 2 - 40,some inch flat panel tv's in his mobile van! Hello! The timing, and music set the mood for any big event. Trust me, no one will remember if your food was any good, but people WILL remember if they had a good time or not...You wont be dissapointed.
GUEST




Shawn and his team did an amazing job with both our ceremony and the reception! In addition to providing music and entertainment, Shaun took charge and coordinated our rehearsal. During the reception he kept the fun and festivities going non stop! He made our wedding unique and exciting by capturing our personalities perfectly. Thank you Shawn, Shaun and Courtney Smith
GUEST




'DJ' is simply an inadequate description of the outstanding, and numerous services that Shawn & Stephen provided for our wedding. Playing music and keeping the evening's events fluid were only a small part of the services that Event Team Entertainment provided to us. Shawn & Stephen are extremely skilled in their industry and always dealt with us respectfully and with the utmost professionalism. We were treated as if our wedding was their ONLY wedding. Stephen even attended our rehearsal and helped to ease any trepidation regarding the ceremony that we may have had. I felt completely at ease about the execution of our ceremony and reception after having our last planning meeting with Stephen. The price was very reasonable and well worth what we recieved in return. We can't imagine having had any other company provide DJ services at our wedding. We will always refer Event Team Northwest to anyone we know planning a wedding or special event. And to Shawn and Stephen~ Many, many thanks for an unforgettable evening and wonderful memories! We wish you well in all of your future endeavors!
GUEST




AMAZING!!! Shawn is way more than a DJ. He is a wedding MASTER. He is absolutely the best at what he does. He made our event so personal and special. We could not imagine how our wedding would have been without him. At our rehearsal the day before he was not only there, but he basically ran the rehearsal. He personalized our wedding with special songs and videos and lighting. He truly is THE BEST.
GUEST




Event team entertainment, and more specifically, Shawn was more than worth every penny. Our wedding was the one best day of our lives, and we owe a lot of it to Shawn. He made our wedding fun, exciting, and entertaining. Many of the guests commented on how wonderful he was and how much fun they had at our wedding. Thank you Shawn, you are wonderful.




When we started planning our wedding, finding the right DJ was a top priority. We knew that a DJ could make or break the night (nobody remembers what they ate at a wedding, but everyone will remember if the entertainment is awful). Shawn was everything we could have hoped for and more. He was recommended to us by another DJ we interviewed and we figured he must be good if even his competitors were recommending him - he did not disappoint! During the planning process, Shawn came to our house several times for consultations and made sure that we got everything we wanted out of the experience. On the big day he acted as Master of Ceremonies and his calm demeanor and organization kept everything moving along at just the right pace. Our wedding would not have been half as good without him and we've had many of our guests call and ask for his name for their own event. A big ‘thank you’ to Shawn and his team for such an amazing day!




I recommend this vendor to anyone who can afford their services. Although they are a premium vendor and the price is definitely on the steep side, they offer so much more than just the DJ music. They were absolutely amazing and well exceeded our expectations. Shawn Whitmore (the owner) was our emcee and worth every penny. This was by far our favorite vendor. He surprised us with throwing in some extra’s on our wedding night and on the fly too. Make sure that you decide whether you want someone to just play music or if you want someone to emcee and be in charge of the flow/mood of the reception. Emceeing skills cost more, but I found that it was worth it. This is not your typical cliché corny wedding DJ. The thing that sold us on this wedding vendor was their level of professionalism and use of today’s technology.
My husband and I were truly blown away by the phenomenal service that Shawn and Event Team Entertainment provided for our wedding ceremony and reception. Our wedding was held at an outdoor venue, meaning Shawn needed to make an extra effort to ensure quality sound. He handled the ceremony music beautifully and I never even noticed where he was set up in the garden. He had additional equipment set up in our reception tent and the party began immediately following the ceremony. I never had to worry about transitions or organization. Shawn was the emcee for the evening and facilitated everything perfectly. The entire reception ran very smoothly and I had a large number of guests comment on his professionalism and great personality. Shawn made our party!!
I cannot say enough about what a fabulous DJ and emcee Shawn is. He is absolutely a leader in wedding entertainment and I am constantly recommending his company to every bride I know. My husband and I will be eternally grateful to Shawn for ensuring that our wedding day was the most incredible day of our lives.
If there was one thing about my wedding day other then my husband that made it a perfect day, it was Shawn at Event Team... By far the best DJ/MC I have ever seen and still get compliments from guests on the DJ. Wouldn't have another party or celebration without him...Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

Hands down the top DJ in the state! Always delivers a fun and engaging event, smoothly and professionally produced. We've filmed dozens of weddings that Event Team has been at and have found Shawn and his staff to be exceptionally easy to work with. Recommended without any reservations... you won't be sorry!!
As the owner of Shields Films I have worked with plenty of DJ's over the years and Event Team Northwest is by far the best around. A cheesy DJ can overtake your reception and ruin your big day, but Shawn and his team are classy and professional. Highly recommended.
Shawn & his team are AWESOME to work with! Couples and their guests always have a blast and they provide such great positive energy that keeps the reception going strong. We highly recommend Event Team!
If you want a prefect wedding you must have Event Team. There professionalism and knowledge of the wedding industry will make your wedding the one that is talked about from all your friends and family for years to come.
I can't say enough amazing things about these guys!! I've seen Shawn in action over five times (including at my own wedding) and am still amazed at how he gets a party started. He and his team have so much energy, and they know exactly how to keep the flow of the night rolling. HIRE THEM!
Event Team Entertainment is fantastic to work with. You really do feel like you are part of a TEAM when you work with them at an event. As an officiant. I appreciate the support and skill they offer at the rehearsal and all throughout the ceremony. The micorphone is always perfect volume and in working order, th songs are right on cue and the communication between us is always easy and cheerful. Jesse was especially wonderful to work with recently at an Abernethy Center wedding. Thanks ETE for doing all that you you do. You ROCK!
Shawn at Event Team Entertainment is an amazing DJ and does an excellent job setting and paying attention to the mood of the event, keeping a great flow of events and organzing every detail from song selection to slide show. I look forward to many events with him because he is such an amazing DJ.
Above and beyond just a DJ - these guys are TRULY an Entertainment Team! Always great to work with and even better to enjoy the show.
Event Team Entertainment is fantastic! They have been leaders in the industry in making weddings and events much more than just a dance party. Their creativity and professional team will give you and your guests an event to remember.
every single time shawn and his team are MCing at a wedding i am shooting, things are bound to be active and fun! we've worked together for several years now and my experience with Event Team Entertainment has always been super great! thanks for your hard work and thanks for working flawlessly with us photographers too! ~ Alice (& Josh) of MoscaPhoto.com
We love working with event team, they are the best and always have the latest equipment and great sound!
I've had the pleasure of working with Event Team Entertainment and I have to say, I was greatly impressed. They are very professional and experienced. I look forward to working with them again. I highly recommend Event Team Entertainment.
Having the right DJ to make your day go smooth and fun is critical for a successful wedding. As a videographer I also appreciate it when the DJ is flexible enough to allow me to go into their mic setup to make the wedding video sound that much better for toasts, etc. I worked recently with them and Shawn even provided me with an MP3 recording of the ceremony audio that I was able to lay into my client's edit along with my mic sources. The end result was fantastic! The equipment used is extremely important and they always come prepared for anything. I always enjoy how they can MC/direct a crowd without being cheesy. Shawn has it down to a science! Shawn and his other staff are great at keeping me and other pertinent vendors aware of the schedule, which is critical to my success. I highly recommend his services.
Love working with Event Team, very professional and always helpful.
If I were getting married, I would call Shawn at Event Team Entertainment TODAY! He is one of the most capable wedding entertainers I have ever met or seen perform.
Having a good DJ can make or break an event! When I worked with Event Team Entertainment for the first time 3 years ago, I instantly knew that I could refer them with great assurance that they would provide quality service and create an atmosphere that fit any style of event! I've since worked with each member of their team on numerous accounts and believe me, you will NOT be disappointed!
As the owner of Shields Films I have worked with plenty of DJ's over the years and Event Team Northwest is by far the best around. A cheesy DJ can overtake your reception and ruin your big day, but Shawn and his team are classy and professional. Highly recommended.
Shawn Wittemore is a fabulous example of what to look for in a quality DJ Entertainer. With many more skills than the "DJ" title infers, Shawn is certain to surprise you with his wide scope of entertainment knowledge, experience, and "can-do" energy.Having personally associated since 2005, I will endorse Shawn and Event Team as being one of the true leaders in the industry in our area. His dedication to professionalism, continuing education, and association puts him in an outstading postion in relation to his competition.
I met Shawn through the American Disc Jockey Association in the Summer of 2007 and I can't begin to explain what a privilege it is to know him. He is a member of the Wed. Guild and is genuinely interested in raising the bar for the entire wedding entertainment industry!
We have known and worked with Shawn for over 4 years. He is by far THE BEST DJ we know! He is extremely professional yet down to earth and easy to talk to and work with. He cares about his clients and knows how to throw the best parties. The dance floor is always packed when Shawn and his team are there. Not only does he know how to make a party happen but he helps with the flow of the day and creates seamless ceremonies and receptions. There are never timing issues or lulls in the day when you have Shawn working for you. He is EXCELLENT!!
Abernethy Center highly recommends Event Team Entertainment. Shawn and his staff are extremely professional and will ensure that you will have a magical wedding day!

We at Abernethy Center feel blessed to have the opportunity to work with Event Team Entertainment.

Event Team is an outstanding example of what a Wedding Entertainment company should be. Shawn is doing things at Weddings that only a handful of DJ's in the country do. He was recently chosen to be a member of the Wedding Entertainment Directors Guild, a leader in the industry that has set the bar for quality entertainment at Weddings. Very few DJ's in the country have done this. What Shawn can bring to your Wedding is uniqueness, a great work ethic, professionalism and a day that will be remembered forever. In addition, he networks with other companies in the industry to keep up with current trends-yet at the same time, he is a trend setter. As a colleague in the Wedding Entertainment industry, I can tell you that Event Team is one of the best DJ companies in Oregon and has earned my complete endorsement.
Event Team Entertainment is the best in the biz, hands down! As a wedding videographer I work closely with dozens of DJs each year and I can say without hesitation that Shawn consistently delivers the most outstanding entertainment and amazing receptions of any DJ I know. He's an absolute professional in all regards and I would strongly recommend him to anyone seeking and exceptional, memorable wedding day experience.
